Paul Seaquist

Impresario / Music Producer / Author

Paul is a visionary in dance, having founded Seaquist Dance Marketing, one of the first dancer and choreographer management companies globally. He has played a pivotal role in developing and directing the careers of some of the most celebrated ballet stars, including Aurélie Dupont, Vladimir Malakhov, Polina Semionova, Carlos Acosta, Daniil Simkin, and Iana Salenko, to name just a few. More recently, he created and directed the “Grand Prix Vladimir Malakhov,” the first ballet competition in Cuba's history, as well as the “Gala de Estrellas de Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic,” both charity-driven dance competitions.

Among his many accolades, Paul was named “Time Person of the Year” by Time Magazine in 2006 and received the “Ballet Impresario of the Year” award from Tanz Magazine in 2008. His influence extends beyond dance; in 2016, he founded SP Records And Music Management, a multi-gold and platinum-selling record label representing a roster of Grammy-awarded artists.
