The purpose of this study was to examine the state of choreography education as part of musical dance education in music departments in the United States, France, and South Korea to spread awareness about the necessity of creative choreography education to expedite the revitalization of the inclusive functions of dance in musical departments. In the United States, not only the theoretical dance classes but also advanced practical dance courses (tap, jazz, ballet, and modern dance) necessary for musical education are offered in a systemized way. Furthermore, other courses give students who have taken the practical courses the opportunity to produce their own works through creative choreography. All of these courses enable students to exert their creativity. Similarly, many creative dance courses are offered in France along with theoretical courses, although few professional dance techniques are taught in musical dance classes in professional arts schools specializing in theater in comparison with the case of the United States. Students who take creative dance courses are given a lot of time to produce their own works in collaboration with other fields. Indeed, they are educated to be fully aware of the roles of dance in works. In musical dance classes in South Korean colleges, however, there are generally no further attempts to provide opportunities to experience dance in the repertoires of existing musical works. Indeed, current musical choreography education is neither systematic nor professional enough to teach students to come up with creative, inclusive ideas through experiencing a wide variety of dance genres. Fundamentally, the curriculums of the musical departments aim to nurture the professional human resources necessary for musical production; dance choreography education should be integrated into and strengthened in these curriculums to foster actors who are skilled at acting, singing, and dancing. In addition, more cooperative programs should be prepared to provide opportunities to produce works in collaboration with other fields. In this way, competent human resources will develop into musical directors or producers who are aware that choreography is no longer a supplementary part of musical education but should rather be developed along with acting and music. As this sort of education is expected to nurture capable choreographers who can create choreography with an excellent understanding of drama, dance choreography education seems to be mandatory for a musical curriculum.
