Anyone can dance, but not everyone can choreograph. Learn from dance expert Farah Khan, who is launching her 12-week choreography course at the ITA School of Performing Arts. Where she shares the secret to her six basic steps to becoming a successful dance director.

Learn:

To know the difference: Dance and choreography are two different things, dance is a set of moves while choreography is a presentation of dance and music together.

To be prepared: Avoid being lost when you’re on the set, as on a daily average, an approximate of Rs.20 lakh is spent on shooting. So, you must plan the entire choreography in advance to have a productive day.

To not be a clone: It’s good to be inspired, but try to be original.

Editing: As a choreographer, you need to understand the technicalities of editing.

To keep experimenting: To attain perfection, one needs to be with changing trends. Don’t hesitate to try something new and experiment with unique steps and let your work do the magic.

To know your artist: Some are good dancers, and some are not, it depends on the choreographer to work on one’s weaknesses and make them look good.
