Eryn Bates: Finding Her Own Rhythm

CHOREOGRAPHY BY ERYN BATES

ARTIST: RIHANNA - SEX WITH ME

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

For Eryn Bates, movement is about more than simply getting through the choreography. As a professional dancer specialising in Jazz Funk, Commercial and performance, she has developed a style centred around musicality, expression and the freedom to make movement feel like your own. At The Manor LDN, that approach comes through both in the choreography she creates and the way she teaches.

Eryn’s work sits naturally between performance and choreography. Her classes give dancers space to explore movement with personality, while her Smooth Choreography sessions place particular emphasis on musicality and performance. It is an approach that reflects her wider passion for creating and teaching — not just demonstrating steps, but helping dancers find something within them.

That balance between detail and individuality is what makes Eryn’s movement language distinctive. Jazz Funk and Commercial give her a foundation, but performance is where the choreography comes alive — through musicality, texture, attitude and the details that turn movement into something personal.

For Rihanna’s “Sex With Me”, Eryn brings that instinct into the choreography. Originally released on the deluxe edition of Rihanna’s 2016 album ANTI, the track gives her a space to explore its R&B-driven sound through her own movement language.
