Choreography by Josh Wharmby
With over a decade of experience in the commercial dance industry, Josh Wharmby brought a genuinely impressive résumé to The Manor LDN. The Liverpool-born choreographer has built a career spanning live performance, television, film, and choreography, working with global artists including Kylie Minogue, Rita Ora, Taylor Swift, P!NK, Liam Payne, and Will.I.Am, alongside major projects such as Netflix's Dance 100, Dance Dance Dance, The Voice, the MTV European Music Awards, and the Rugby World Cup Closing Ceremony.
Beyond his own performance and choreography career, Wharmby is also the founder of AYAW — Are You A Wharmby — a dance training programme and series of intensives run across the UK alongside his father and sister. Built as a genuine family operation, AYAW brings the same industry-level standard Wharmby has developed on major stages directly to dancers across the country, and that same commitment to raising the bar shaped every part of his class at The Manor LDN.
