dance sequence

Routine of steps

A dance sequence is a choreographed series of movements performed as a unified segment, typically within a larger work like a film, musical, or stage production.

The term emphasizes that the dancing forms a discrete, self-contained portion: The movie's dream dance sequence became iconic.

In video games and fitness programs, dance sequences are preset patterns players must follow or replicate.
