What this quote means

Bob Fosse's quote, 'Choreography is writing on your feet,' encapsulates the idea that dance is akin to a written language, where each movement conveys a message or emotion. Just as a writer uses words to articulate thoughts, a choreographer uses body movements to express concepts and narratives, creating a visual language that communicates to the audience.
