Sekou McMiller

At the forefront of a new movement in the dance world, Sekou McMiller's Afro-Latin dance style is rich with Afro-Caribbean influences (salsa, mambo, cha-cha-cha, rumba, Yoruba, etc.) as well as urban dance, modern, jazz, and contemporary styles. 

Sekou has performed and choreographed for top Latin artists such as Gilberto Santa Rosa, Willie Colon, Cheo Feliciano, Johnny Pacheco, Tito Rojas, Tito Nieves, PitBull, and the pop icon Madonna. A recipient of The Ailey School’s fellowship in the New Directions Choreography Lab for Winter/Spring 2017, and the City University of New York (CUNY) Dance Initiative Winter/Spring 2017, Sekou’s choreographic work has been featured throughout North America and abroad in over 30 countries.

Sekou has received training certificates from the prestigious Danza Contemporanea de Cuba in Havana, Cuba, and Ecole de Sables in Toubab Dialaw, Senegal.

Sekou can be seen in the Warner Bros theatrical feature In the Heights (2021) directed by Jon M. Chu, and in the newly released documentary Uprooted: The Journey of Jazz Dance. Sekou is a faculty member at Marymount Manhattan College, Joffrey Ballet School, Ballet Hispánico, Steps on Broadway, and Broadway Dance Center, in addition to being a curator and project director at the National Jazz Museum in Harlem.
