22 Years, 40 Countries, One Masterclass: Dylan Mayoral at The Manor LDN

BRIT School-trained, 22 years in the industry — Dylan Mayoral brings world-class experience to The Manor LDN

Choreography by Dylan Mayoral

Dylan Mayoral brought over two decades of industry experience to The Manor LDN for a masterclass built on a genuinely rare résumé. BRIT School-trained and 22 years into a career spanning performance, choreography, and teaching, Mayoral has worked with global superstars including Rita Ora, Calvin Harris, Dua Lipa, Fergie, Martin Jensen, and BTS — experience that shaped every combination taught in the Finsbury Park studio.

What sets Mayoral apart in the room is musicality that feels genuinely instinctive rather than counted. Every phrase he builds finds the texture inside a track — the space between beats as much as the beats themselves — so choreography lands with a sense of timing that's difficult to teach and even harder to fake. It's a style shaped by two decades on some of the biggest stages in music, refined into something distinctly his own: sharp, deliberate, and built around a relationship with sound that dancers in the room could feel from the very first combination.

That world-class background extends well beyond the artists he's worked with. Mayoral has taught in over 40 countries, sharing his own choreography and movement philosophies with dancers across the globe. Most recently, in 2023, he took on both ensemble and lead roles in the critically acclaimed world tour of Message In A Bottle — a powerful dance theatre production by Olivier Award nominee Kate Prince, set to the music of Sting. At The Manor LDN, that same performance-driven, globally-tested approach shaped a class designed to push technique, artistry, and stage presence in equal measure.
