Jazz Is: Masterclass

Sekou McMiller:
Jazz History Tree: Afro Latin Jazz Dance

Choreographer, educator, and curator Sekou McMiller (he/him), at the forefront of a new movement in the dance world, his melange of Afro Latin Jazz, Afro-Caribbean (Salsa/Mambo, Cha-cha-cha, Rumba, Yoruba) urban dance, modern, jazz, and contemporary styles, augmented by his explosive energy on and off stage, has earned Sekou broad recognition world-wide. Sekou has performed and choreographed for top latin artists including Gilberto Santa Rosa, Willie Colon, Cheo Feliciano, Johnny Pacheco, Tito Rojas, Tito Nieves, PitBull, and the pop icon Madonna. In addition to his recent Residency at Jacob’s Pillow, McMiller is a fellowship recipient with The Alvin Ailey Foundation’s New Directions Choreography Lab and the City University of New York (CUNY) Dance Initiative. Sekou has received certificates of training from both the prestigious Danza Contemporanea de Cuba in Havana, Cuba and École des Sables in Toubab Dialaw, Senegal.
