From the Stage to the Studio: Sammi Lee Jayne

Choreography by Sammi Lee Jayne

Artist: Tate McRae - Miss Possesive 

Location: The Manor LDN Dance Studio, Finsbury Park, North London

Sammi Lee Jayne has spent years performing at the highest level of the commercial dance industry. Based in London, she has worked alongside artists including Dua Lipa, Rihanna, Little Mix, Zara Larsson, Rosalía, Kylie Minogue, Rita Ora and The Black Eyed Peas, building a career across live performance, music videos, television and major events.

More recently, Sammi has taken that experience into choreography and movement direction. She served as Dance Captain and Choreographer on Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism Tour and has assisted renowned choreographer Charm La’Donna on projects including Dua Lipa’s Illusion and Houdini music videos. Her creative work now spans live performance, broadcast, fashion and beauty, with her choreography rooted in musicality, confidence, precision and a strong sense of identity.

At The Manor LDN, Sammi brought her choreography to Tate McRae’s Miss Possessive, a track from McRae’s 2025 album So Close To What. Released in February 2025, the album explores themes including self-discovery, love, nostalgia and a growing sense of confidence.

The class captures the energy at the centre of Sammi’s own work: strong musicality, performance and movement with purpose. Having spent years experiencing the industry from the stage, she now brings that knowledge directly into the studio — giving dancers the opportunity to learn from an artist actively working on both sides of the creative process.
