Hello,
I noticed that there was no thread for dance choreography, and, with characters such as Nessa and Lúthien, there is certainly a need of one, not to mention the necessity of information for music, costuming, and casting discussions. I've been doing Irish Step Dance for six years now, and hopefully there are some other people on this forum who have some experience with any style of dance. Here is a list of all the scenes where dance choreography is needed according to the script outlines for seasons one through five:
S1 E2
S1 E5
S1 E6
S1 E11
S3 E3
S3 E4
S3 E9
S3 E13
S4 E3
S4 E5
S4 E11
S5 E4
