Fresh Choreography, Set to Tate McRae's "Dear God"

Choreography by Blake John Wood

Some tracks demand a specific kind of choreography — sharp enough to match the intensity, controlled enough not to overwhelm it. Blake John Wood found exactly that balance with his choreography to Tate McRae's "Dear God," filmed at The Manor LDN's Finsbury Park studio. Rather than choreography built to simply fill the runtime, this piece leaned into the track's tension, building movement that tracked the song's emotional shifts as closely as its rhythm.

Wood, an internationally recognised choreographer whose career spans major global brands and artists, brought that same instinct for precision into this piece that's shaped his wider body of work. The choreography itself stayed tightly connected to the music throughout — hits landing exactly where "Dear God" demands them, transitions carrying the same restrained intensity as the track's production.

Filmed inside The Manor LDN's Finsbury Park studio, the piece captures exactly why The Manor LDN continues to draw choreographers capable of this level of musical specificity — a room built with the scale, lighting, and sound quality to let a piece this detail-driven actually be captured properly, rather than compromised by a space that can't keep up with the choreography being made in it. That's down to more than just the room itself, too — The Manor LDN works with some of the sharpest videographers in the industry, the kind who know exactly when to hold a wide shot and when to cut in tight on an isolation, so a piece this precise reads on camera exactly the way it felt live in the room.
