Taiwan Williams is an American dancer known for his dynamic stage presence and versatility — and The Manor LDN was fortunate to catch him mid-tour. Born in Richmond, California, Williams built a massive online following through energetic hip-hop and freestyle routines, and by teaching at the renowned Millennium Dance Complex in Los Angeles, one of the most respected training grounds in the industry.
His performance career includes work with some of the biggest names in music, including Chris Brown, Kendrick Lamar, E-40, and Pharrell Williams, and he gained national attention in 2011 after being featured on the eighth season of So You Think You Can Dance. With a career spanning major tours and television appearances, Williams continues to leave his mark on the global dance scene — most recently while performing in London as part of Kendrick Lamar's The Big Steppers: The Final Lap Tour, which brought him directly into the Finsbury Park studio for this class.
