PRP - Choreographed Animation

After a recent tutorial with Andy I am going to start looking at choreographed animation for my Personal Research Project.
So first I must define what choreography is in relation to animation.

Leopard OSX Dictionary:
choreograph |ˈkɒrɪəgrɑːf|
verb [ trans. ]
compose the sequence of steps and moves for (a performance of dance or ice skating) : he is now choreographing a ballet.
• figurative plan and control (an event or operation) : the committee choreographs the movement of troops.
DERIVATIVES
choreographer |ˌkôrēˈägrəfər| |ˈkɔriˈɑgrəfər| |-ɪˈɒgrəfə| noun
ORIGIN 1940s: back-formation from choreography.

Wikipedia:
Choreography is the art of designing sequences of movements in which motion, form, or both are specified. Choreography may also refer to the design itself, which is sometimes expressed by means of dance notation. The word choreography literally means "dance-writing" from the Greek words "χορεία" (circular dance, see chorea) and "γραφή" (writing). A choreographer is one who creates choreographies.
