Typical day for an Choreographer

For a choreographer there much to be done as it is not just a simple task and you're done for today. Usually will manage dance schools or assist in management while directing rehearsels. When a choreographer is not doing a such thing as directing they will spend time to read story lines or musical scores to determine what actions are needed to show a expression.

Weekly and Monthly Tasks

Having more time these tasks are to take on bigger projects to come for specefic dancers or performers. They can design dances for dance companies, musical theatre, opera, and much more. To start a project you will need dancers of course so choreographer will spend time for auditions to choose a dancer to learn one or more dance parts.
