chorus lines

Singers' repeated sections

Chorus lines are the rows of dancers who perform synchronized routines in musical theater, typically positioned behind the principal performers.

The term can refer to the dancers themselves or to the choreographed formations they create: She spent years in the chorus line before landing a lead role.

A chorus line also means a line of dialogue or lyrics sung by multiple voices together.
