dance routines
Practiced step sequences
Dance routines are choreographed sequences of movements performed to music, typically practiced until they can be executed smoothly.
The term implies rehearsed coordination rather than improvisation: The cheerleaders spent weeks perfecting their dance routine.
Routine here carries the sense of a set piece—something repeatable and polished, whether for competition, performance, or exercise class.
