Through dance and movement, the plot was expanded with the assistance of choreographer Garth Fagan. A choreographer renowned for his innovative choreography primarily for the dance of Garth Fagan, Fagan used his unique choreographic style for The Lion King by combining a variety of ballet, jazz, modern dance, African dance and Balinese dance to suggest representations of nature without rendering them a replica itself and uses dance to help tell the story (Exploring the Lion King, 2010).
