KENDRICK SAMUEL is a dancer, choreographer, movement director, and multidimensional creative known for his dynamic style and performance work. Born and raised in Queens, New York, Kendrick discovered his love for dance at the age of seven, quickly becoming the life of the party at family gatherings. Inspired by Michael Jackson, Aaliyah, Usher, and the Kompa music and dance of his Haitian heritage, he developed an early movement vocabulary that blended rhythm, flow, and natural stage presence.
From elementary school through college, Kendrick found ways to integrate dance into his studies, eventually pursuing formal training at Benjamin N. Cardozo High School and later at Devore Dance Center in Hollis, Queens, where he trained extensively in Hip Hop, African, Modern, and Ballet. Kendrick has been featured in national commercials for Powerball and 1800 Tequila, modeled for brands such as Warby Parker and Squarespace, and performed live with artists including Tyla, Busta Rhymes, Doja Cat, and Kaytranada. His film and stage work includes serving as a principal dancer in The Color Purple musical film and choreographing for NBA dance teams such as the Knicks City Dancers and the Brooklynettes.
