Kany Diabate is a French dancer, choreographer, and performance director. Her family has roots in Senegal, so she began to learn African dance at the age of 5. She was then selected to join the National Junior Ballet of Senegal. Many years later, she started to train in hip hop and funk styles in Paris and New York.

After moving to the U.S., she had the opportunity to work for international superstars like Michael Jackson, Ariana Grande, or Christina Aguilera. She has also had the opportunity to choreograph and work for Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland, and even created her very own style and class called AFROMOVES to incorporate her African origin in all of her works.

She is active in South Korea, as she has choreographed several songs for SHINEE, BADVILLAIN, VIVIZ, BLACKPINK, BLACKSWAN, P1HARMONY, HWASA, and also married a South Korean non-celebrity husband that she met while living in the United States. She had her own show featuring many K-Pop artists like BTS's J-Hope, Big Bang's Taeyang, STRAYKIDS, and more.

In 2026, she made the 2026 FIFA WORLD CUP choreography for Shakira's "Dai Dai".
