A Hub for World-Class Dance: Taiwan Williams' Pop-Up Class

Choreography by Taiwan Williams

The Manor LDN has built a reputation as a genuine hub for world-class dance experiences in London — the kind of studio where a one-off class from an international performer isn't a rare exception, it's simply what the room is built for. Taiwan Williams' special one-off session was the latest proof: an international-calibre performer bringing his industry experience and high-energy teaching style into Finsbury Park for a single, unrepeatable night.

Williams' credits speak for themselves — work with global artists including Kenrick Lamar, E-40, Chris Brown, Pharrell Williams, and Jason Derulo, alongside a career-defining appearance on Season 8 of So You Think You Can Dance. It's the Derulo credit in particular that rounds out an already striking résumé, adding another major pop stage to a career that's spanned some of the most recognisable names in music. Dancers who made it into the room got something genuinely rare: a single night with a performer whose usual stages hold thousands, condensed into one high-energy class most studios in the city simply couldn't have booked.
