In a swaggering performance, choreographer Sean Bankhead and his students perform the viral dance he designed for Victoria Monét's hit song "On My Mama." Rooted in Black culture and inspired by generations of iconic artists, Bankhead blends expertise with at least one move everyone can try — showing how choreography doesn't just reflect culture, it drives it forward.
