Sean Cheesman on SYTYCD Season 6
First of all, hello, I am Mandy and I am from Vancouver Canada and post on https://puresytycd.com/canadasite regularly but will be posting periodically here on the USA site also.
That being said, I have to tell you how thrilled I was to see Canadian Choreographers Maria Torres (an American but was on SYTYCD Canada show), Stacey Tookey, and newcomers Gustavo Vargas and Sean Cheesman, who have done some amazing stuff for the Canadian show.
I’d like to touch on each of these wonderful choreographers throughout the week, but for now, let’s look at the AMAZING Sean Cheesman.
Sean Cheesman choreographing on last weeks show was a great surprise for me. He is one of my favourite judges and choreographers on SYTYCD Canada and has brought so much greatness to our Canadian Show.
His Afrojazz routine for Noelle & Russell was amazing and in my opinion one of the best of the evening.
They danced to “Frog Dance” -by Mickey Hart & Planet Drum, and Sean Cheeseman threw in all his tricks, really showcasing his amazing choreography and giving Noelle and Russell a much needed spotlight.
I am so glad to see him choreogrpah on SYTYCD as it has a wider audience than SYTYCD Canada. I really hope they invite him back for more this season and in the future seasons too as he is truly an awesome choreographer.
Calgary native Sean Cheesman is an internationally-renowned director/choreographer who has worked with some of the world’s top entertainers, including Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, TLC, Prince, Vanessa Williams, Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, Queen Latifah, and Britney Spears.
Cheesman has toured with Janet Jackson as a choreographer and dancer and subsequently choreographed tours for Prince. Cheesman appeared in and choreographed the film The Bodyguard and most recently was the host and lead judge of the U.K. television series Dirty Dancing: Time of Your Life.
Sean just completed choreographing the largest stage revue show in Berlin, Germany.
He is also the recipient of numerous awards, including two MTV awards for choreography, a “What’s on Stage” theatre award for the West-End musical Daddy Cool, and was also nominated for a Bob Fosse choreography award.
Hi Mandy! Thanks so much for highlighting Sean more! I’ve followed him on SYTYCD Canada and absolutely love the routines he choreographs. I totally dug the Princess and the Frog as well as his piece for Vincent and Lisa from Canada season 1. I was so so excited that he came to choreograph for the US show, and I feel like Noelle and Russell were the perfect pair for him to have. I join you in hoping he is able to come back again to the US show soon!!
Welcome Malicious Mandy (not to be confused with Mandy or Amanda). Sean is an interesting choreographer. I’m glad that they brought him over. Canada has done pretty well for itself when it comes to choreographers.
i first saw Vanessa Williams on the Miss USA pageant, she was so beautiful in the old days;’`
