Artist: Maureen & DJ Whyne - Kompetxjiggle

Location: The Manor LDN Dance Studio, Finsbury Park, North London

Originally from Poland and now working internationally, Maniek Kotarski has built a career that moves seamlessly between choreography, performance, live shows, music videos, television and fashion. Known for his dynamic movement and strong musicality, Maniek has developed a distinctive commercial style that has taken him from European productions to some of the biggest stages in the world.

His career includes choreography and performance work with artists including Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, Christina Aguilera, J Balvin, Tate McRae, Ricky Martin and Mario. He has also worked across major live productions including the Super Bowl and Billboard Music Awards, alongside projects with Polish artists such as Margaret, Young Leosia, Afromental and Marina. Beyond music, his creative work extends into fashion and commercial campaigns for brands including Levi’s, Deichmann and Play.

For his Manor LDN masterclass, Maniek brought his choreography to Kompetxjiggle by Maureen & DJ Whyne. The class took place at The Manor LDN in Finsbury Park, following Maniek’s work on Janet Jackson’s Together Again tour.
