Fifth Harmony's Choreographer Explains the Making of the 7/27 Tour & Teaching Them to Twerk
You'll hear Sean Bankhead using the word "iconic" when talking about Fifth Harmony a lot, but in reality, "iconic" has become the best describer for his own work. The choreographer has teamed up with some legendary pop ladies (read: Beyoncé, Janelle Monae, Britney Spears), and he's THE mastermind behind all of Fifth Harmony's moves—from "Worth It" to the most recent "All In My Head (Flex)"—all while in his twenties, by the way.
Even though he's constantly on the go with other artists, or teaching classes at Dance 411 studios in Atlanta, Georgia, he had to buckle down with 5H when it came time for their 7/27 Tour, which kicked off its North American leg on Wednesday nigh. And if you were at the first stop in Manchester, New Hampshire, you might've seen Bankhead with a headset, chatting to the ladies through their in-ear pieces and looking a little nervous.
We hopped on the phone with Bankhead after he touched down in Los Angeles, and he told us all about how the tour came together and how he loves seeing Harmonizers do his choreography.
