choreo
Planned dance steps
Choreo is informal shorthand for choreography—the design and arrangement of dance movements or staged sequences.
It appears frequently in discussions of dance, music videos, and performance: The choreo for that K-pop video took months to perfect.
Also used as a clipped form of choreograph: Who choreo'd this routine?
