Skills in Choreography

All these skills are required for the job that I am currently in. A lot of these skills do cross over into different sectors so for example you would need to have some level of dance ability to be able to choreograph.
Where have I got my information from?
Mainly the ideas I have about the skills required have come from my dance training that I have been receiving from a young age. A lot of information has also come from the company choreographer and teachers that I had at college. As well as being taught alot of this information I also found my information has been acquired from watching alot of dance performances and dance tv programs, for example So You Think You Can Dance, is an American TV show where contestants dance different styles infront of various judges who then critique the dancers, here is a snippet of one of my favorite episodes.
