CHOREOGRAPHY BY KIEL TUTIN

ARTIST: ZARA LARSSON - HOT & SEXY

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

There’s a reason Kiel Tutin’s choreography has become so recognisable across the global pop landscape. His work is built around flair, timing and control, combining sharp commercial movement with a strong understanding of how choreography needs to read on stage, on screen and through the artist performing it. Based between Los Angeles, New York and London, Kiel has worked across music videos, live shows and creative direction for some of the biggest names in music.

His credits include BLACKPINK, Jennifer Lopez, Jolin Tsai, TWICE, ITZY, XG, (G)I-DLE and LE SSERAFIM, with choreography spanning major music videos, live performances and global pop productions. Kiel has also worked extensively with BLACKPINK, including choreography and creative direction for their Coachella performances and Born Pink world tour.

His background in dance started in New Zealand, where he performed and co-choreographed with crews including Sorority, Kings and The Royal Family. His competitive career earned seven World Hip Hop Dance Championship medals, including four world titles, before his work expanded into international choreography and teaching across more than 30 countries.

For this session at The Manor LDN, Kiel turns his attention to Zara Larsson's “Hot & Sexy”. Released in 2025 as part of Midnight Sun, the track brings a bold, playful energy that fits naturally with Kiel's performance-driven approach to commercial choreography.

The result is a routine built around the qualities that have become central to Kiel's work — musicality, detail, attitude and control. Filmed at The Manor LDN in Finsbury Park, North London, the session brings one of the world's most in-demand choreographers into the London studio and gives dancers the chance to experience Kiel Tutin's choreography up close.
