CHOREOGRAPHY BY DEAN LEE

ARTIST: KYLIE CANTRALL - GODDIE BAG

LOCATION: THE MANOR LDN DANCE STUDIO, FINSBURY PARK, NORTH LONDON

Dean Lee has spent more than 15 years working across commercial dance, music, television, theatre and live performance, building a career that has taken him onto stages and screens alongside some of the biggest names in entertainment. From Janet Jackson and Kylie Minogue to The Pussycat Dolls, Leona Lewis, Little Mix and Take That, his work has consistently combined technical precision with a strong instinct for performance.

Trained at Urdang Academy on a full scholarship, Dean began his professional career with the Bolshoi Ballet's London residency of La Bayadère before moving into commercial choreography and performance. His television credits include The X Factor, Strictly Come Dancing, The Royal Variety Show, The Masked Singer and So You Think You Can Dance, alongside extensive live and touring work.

For this session at The Manor LDN, Dean turns his attention to “Goodie Bag”, bringing his commercial choreography style into the studio. His approach is rooted in musicality, precision and performance — creating choreography that asks dancers to think beyond simply learning the steps and focus on how the movement is performed.

Filmed at The Manor LDN in Finsbury Park, North London, this latest routine is another example of Dean bringing his experience from the professional dance world directly into the studio.
