Choreography turns dance into art and knowledge. Choreographic art injects life and meaning into movement. It gives it content and a story, characters and a setting that houses it and gives it spatial and temporal meaning. In short, choreography offers a scenic value that makes possible the marriage of dance and theater. Dancing is not an anodyne or spontaneous gesture. It is, on the contrary, an ethical responsibility that entails sustained discipline and constancy in order to learn and acquire the sufficient expertise that excellence demands. Dancing is not a matter of an instant. It requires the commitment of a lifetime, an inexhaustible source for building universes capable of creating beauty and emotion.

Aimed at dance students.
