choreographically
In dance terms
Choreographically describes something done in the manner of choreography—the art of designing and arranging dance movements.
It applies to how dance sequences are composed, staged, or executed: The number was choreographically ambitious but emotionally flat.
The term extends beyond dance to describe any elaborately coordinated physical arrangement or movement: The fight scenes were choreographically precise.
