What is Your Choreography Style?
The great thing about dance is that there can be hundreds of different ideas and interpretations and there can be space for all of them because none of them are necessarily wrong.
There’ll probably come a point at some stage in your career where you’ll either have to come up with a whole choreography or assist in creating one. It can seem like quite a big and exciting task. And it is exciting.

Ballet – A Look At The Life Of Kenneth Macmillan
The choreographer and dancer Sir Kenneth MacMillan was born on 11 December 1929 in Dunfermline, Scotland and died in 1992 of a heart attack. Although a talented dancer himself MacMillan was always more comfortable in the role of choreographer. Hailing from a working class family he grew up in North Norfolk when his family moved there from Scotland. He first started dancing at the age of 12 and the naturally gifted dancer was accepted by the Sadler’s Wells ballet as it was called then at the age of 15.
Debilitating stage fright kept MacMillan from the success he deserved as a dancer but in working as a choreographer he found a niche for his talents. The first two pieces he choreographed immediately stood out as being innovative and got him noticed these were 1953′s Somnambulism and Laiderette performed the following year. By 1955 MacMillan had been well and truly spotted and was choreographing pieces for the Sadler’s Wells Ballet working under the legendary Sir Frederick Ashton.
