Hi, Amy! While you don’t necessarily have to be able to do ~everything~ you have in mind, you need to have the ability to teach other people the movements you have in mind if it isn’t already in their movement vocabulary.
Thanks for the help.

Choreography in itself is a free form practice once you learn how to adapt your own technique. Levels can be adjustable according to your own style, students, and studio accommodation. Dance/movement term is used inversely due to the body being the mechanism of response and can be done in areas of either creative, therapeutic, and/or popular entertainment.
Challenge Question:
How do you see dance, movement, and creativity? Are the tools interchangeable? Can the work be open level?

You should be able to put a routine together for the dancers. Some people are visual Learners. You will need to show them.
