being an choreographer is about being able to sit out in the house and see everything at once. it's about having some kind of an overall vision, as opposed to a vision of detail. the dance captain must see every detail. i think that was a big part of my training in becoming a choreographer. that's the job; seeing the big picture as well as the details. a good choreographer knows exactly where to place focus, where you want the audience to look at a certain time
