until AI starts replacing people in this job

Someone has to stand in the studio, demonstrate the signature move and fit it to each dancer. AI will eventually draft routines, and choreographers will use it as a sketchpad.

AI impact · AI-assistedChoreographer: what AI changes and what stays
AI that can sketch a rough dance sequence is coming, but that's a draft, not a finished routine. Inventing the movement that becomes a song's signature, teaching it body to body in the studio, and adjusting it to each dancer's strengths stays a choreographer's craft — AI is a tool here, not a replacement.
What could AI eventually do in choreography?
Software that can generate a rough sequence of movement from a piece of music is coming, and it could plausibly become a useful starting draft for a choreographer to react to. That's a genuinely new tool, but a rough machine-generated sequence is a long way from a finished, performance-ready routine.
Why does teaching choreography still happen body to body?
Inventing the specific movement that ends up defining a song, then physically teaching it in the studio and adjusting it to fit what each individual dancer's body actually does well, all depend on a choreographer's own physical presence and judgment. No draft sequence a program generates arrives already tailored to the specific people who have to perform it.
How should a choreographer think about using AI tools?
Treating an AI-generated sequence as a rough starting point to react to and rebuild, rather than a finished product, is the useful way to bring the tool into a real process. A dance background remains the core training either way, and the actual craft worth protecting is the in-studio teaching and adjusting that no draft can replace.
