Jay Revell Wove In Jeri Slaughter's Signature Style

Choreography by Jay Revell

Some choreography carries a signature so distinctive that even a few counts of it are instantly recognisable. Jay Revell's latest class at The Manor LDN was built entirely from his own choreography, but woven through it were elements of Jeri Slaughter's signature style — a deliberate nod rather than a full reteaching, giving the session a texture that felt both fresh and quietly rooted in dance history.

Revell is one of the UK's most in-demand choreographers globally, with credits including Christina Aguilera, Little Mix, and RAYE, and work spanning major international projects including Riot Games and Riyadh Season in Saudi Arabia. That range gave him exactly the eye needed to reference another choreographer's signature work with genuine care — not copying it wholesale, but folding recognisable elements into his own movement in a way that read as homage rather than imitation, while dancers were still very much learning Revell's own choreography throughout.

For a masterclass scene that can sometimes treat every class as interchangeable, this one stood apart: Jay Revell's own creative voice, with a genuine tip of the hat to Jeri Slaughter's influence built directly into it.
