A '''chorus line''' is a large group of [[dancer]]s who together perform [[synchronization|synchronized]] routines, usually in [[musical theatre]]. Sometimes, [[singing]] is also performed. While synchronized dancing indicative of a chorus line was vogue during the first half of the 20th century, modern theatre uses the terms "[[Ensemble (musical theatre)|ensemble]]" and "[[Chorus (musical theatre)|chorus]]" to indicate all supporting players in a [[stage production]].
