"Matt Wesley’s choreography is explosive, full of intensity and style. The scenes seem to burst with energy, as if Rydell High couldn’t fit on the stage.

"Matt was a triumph at RHCAST. Not only did he create magic but the students adored and respected him. I would run to work with him again and cannot tell you how lucky you would be to have him as part of your creative team. He is my go to choreographer. "

Choreography
"Matt Wesley’s choreography functions as the driving force of the production. With bold lines, precision synchronisation, and relentless energy, the ensemble numbers unfold with accuracy and passion. The actor-dancers do not merely perform roles; they bring physicality and rhythm, transforming the stage into a pulsating dance floor that reaches its peak in the finale.

"Choreography by Matt Wesley was varied and high tempo, with highlights including Wendi Peters’ rendition of ‘Abracadabra’ and a fantastic tap sequence to ‘Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat’ from Guys and Dolls, including other brilliantly chosen numbers including spoofs of ‘I Can Hear the Bells’ from Hairspray, ‘500 Miles’ by the Proclaimers and ‘Mystical Magical’ by Benson Boon."

Adjudicator
"We have been fortunate enough to have Matt adjudicate our competition twice and on both occasions he has shared his knowledge with the students while still inspiring and encouraging them. I can not recommend Matthew enough as an adjudicator and educator within performing arts! Also if you are a competition that can do professional workshops, you must get him to do a jazz one! 10/10"

Matthew provided clear, detailed, and constructive feedback, offering valuable insight to support the development of the dancers. Matthews approachable manner and professionalism made him extremely easy to work with, and he contributed positively to the overall standard and smooth running of the competition. We very much look forward to working with Matt again in the future."

His feedback was not only insightful but incredibly encouraging and it was clear he truly cared about each dancer’s experience and growth.
