Dancer Kiel Tutin posted to Instagram, explaining how meaningful it was to share the stage with BLACKPINK at Coachella, given that he had met the idols in 2014, back when they “dreamt of being superstars.”
Last night I danced for the 17/18 year old girls I met in 2014, who dreamt of being superstars, and 9 years later are headlining Coachella, with me as Creative Director, Choreographer (and for the hat trick) – Dancer
