Manor Series Vol. 3: David Cottle's Industry Special

Choreography by David Cottle

The Manor Series Volume 3: Industry Special brought David Cottle back to The Manor LDN for an unforgettable choreography class — and the "Industry Special" title wasn't just branding. This instalment was built specifically to give dancers direct access to the kind of standard that actually exists at the top of the industry, taught by someone who's spent his career working inside it rather than adjacent to it.

Cottle's diverse credits — spanning JUNGLE, Everybody's Talking About Jamie, Wicked, and work with global names including Ed Sheeran, Perrie Edwards, BTS, and the Message In A Bottle World Tour — made him exactly the right choice to anchor this volume. His background across theatre, music videos, and world tours brought a genuinely unique energy into the room, the kind that only comes from moving fluidly between formats rather than specialising in just one.

Dancers left having focused on technique, performance, and style in equal measure, pushed to elevate their craft by someone with the real industry range to back up every correction he gave. For a series built to bring exactly this calibre of choreographer into The Manor LDN, Volume 3 delivered precisely what "Industry Special" promised.
