True. Labanotation is sometimes taught to dancers. A published report card for Madonna shows she got a D in that class. But choreographers do not compose in dance notation.
Here's a decent explanation of Labanotation.[1] I once looked at it as a possible input language for an animation program. Bad idea.

You might be interested in some of the work by Don Herbison-Evans. He lectured me in Computer Science, was a bit of a dance nut and into animation for choreography.
He was working on a project called MUSE, which was essentially CAD for choreography [1]. There was also an animation system, called NUDES [2]. At one point he was building a program to animate from Labanotation. I'm not sure if that was MUSE, NUDES or yet another program.
