“안무가” is the Korean term for a choreographer, a person who creates and designs dance routines. They work in various settings, including theater, film, and television, and often collaborate with dancers to bring their vision to life. Choreographers may specialize in different dance styles, such as ballet, contemporary, or traditional Korean dance, known as 한국무용. In addition to creating dance sequences, 안무가 also teach dancers how to perform the movements. They consider elements like music, rhythm, and emotion to ensure the performance is engaging. Notable 안무가 in Korea include 이원재 and 안성수, who have made significant contributions to the dance community.
