CHOREOGRAPHER
Creates original dances.
They may also create new interpretations to traditional dances like the
ballet, "Nutcracker", since few dances are written down. They also
instruct performers at rehearsals to achieve the desired effect and
audition performers.
Educational
Requirements
Completion of a
college program in dance and education is essential to qualify for
employment as a college or elementary/high school dance teacher.
Colleges, as well as conservatories, generally require graduate degrees,
but performance experience often may be substituted. However, a college
background is not necessary for teaching dance or choreographing
professionally. Studio Schools usually require teachers to have
experience as performers.
