So Excited: Gil Duldulao's Latest Janet Jackson Class

Choreography by Gil Duldulao

The Manor LDN was beyond excited to have Gil Duldulao back — fittingly, to teach the choreography for "So Excited," one of Janet Jackson's most vibrant and energetic tracks, as the latest instalment in the studio's ongoing Janet Jackson Series. Some choreographers can teach a step. Duldulao teaches the reason the step exists in the first place, and that distinction was on full display from the very first count.

Bringing his unparalleled expertise into the room, Duldulao taught original choreography that has defined Janet Jackson's performances and influenced generations of dancers worldwide — work that's played a major role in shaping her signature style. For London's dance community, a class like this doesn't come around often: a genuine opportunity to train at a professional level while gaining first-hand insight into the artistry, musicality, and precision behind some of the most legendary live performances in music history.

Few names in commercial choreography carry the weight Duldulao does — a true global icon who's spent decades paving lanes other choreographers now walk without always knowing who cleared the path. It was truly an unforgettable moment at The Manor LDN, the kind that dancers in the room will describe as once-in-a-lifetime for years to come, and exactly the sort of session that keeps The Manor LDN at the centre of serious dance training in London.
