choreographed routines
Staged dance sequences
Choreographed routines are sequences of movements planned and practiced in advance, especially in dance, gymnastics, or figure skating.
The term extends to any rehearsed performance or coordinated action: The flash mob performed a choreographed routine in the mall.
In criticism, choreographed routines can suggest something overly scripted or lacking spontaneity: His answers felt like choreographed routines rather than genuine responses.
