An Icon in Heels: Chanelle Anthony's Magic

Choreography by Chanelle Anthony

Chanelle Anthony truly brought the magic to The Manor LDN with a dynamic class blending technical brilliance with pure artistry — and in heels specifically, she's become something close to an icon. As a dancer and choreographer, Anthony's credits include starring in major productions like Wonka and Wicked, work that sits alongside her earlier West End choreography for Wicked and Aladdin, where her presence and precision captivated audiences long before she ever led a class of her own.

Heels demands a different kind of physical honesty than most styles — there's nowhere to hide a wobble, no forgiveness for a movement that isn't fully committed to. That's exactly the standard Anthony brought into the room, and exactly why The Manor LDN's Finsbury Park studio was built to support it: full sprung flooring for genuine stability at speed, professional lighting sharp enough to show every line clearly, and a sound system built to let the precision of heels choreography land the way it's meant to. It's the kind of environment that doesn't just host a heels class, it lets an icon of the style actually demonstrate why she's considered one.

With a career spanning both stage and screen, Anthony's versatility, creativity, and passion inspire everyone she works with — and it's always a genuine privilege to have her share that experience and energy in the studio. This session was proof of exactly why.
