Choreographers work with directors, producers, designers, and other members of the production team to plan, create and realise the dance or movement design concept. Choreographers work with trained dancers and with actors to teach them the required steps and routines, and to ensure that continuity is maintained throughout productions.

Choreographers may also be employed as movement directors, demonstrating correct period etiquette, robotic movements, menacing movements for gang warfare sequences, helping male actors to play women characters and vice versa etc.
