A formal qualification is not necessary as Choreographers typically begin their career as Dancers and study a variety of routines from an early age.

When they establish a successful dance career they may then transition into an Assistant Choreographer before becoming a Choreographer. You can study through various workshops and always keep active and up to date with the latest trends in the dance world. Some Choreographers work on a freelance basis so self promotion is essential.
