Choreographer Omari Wiles on Collaborating With His Mom, Dance Luminary Marie Basse-Wiles

by Cara Hagan | Jan 8, 2025

A collage of two photos. On the left, Marie Basse-Wiles, wearing a bright yellow costume and headscarf, is caught mid-movement, her right arm and foot raised, smiling exultantly. On the right, Omari Wiles, wearing a silver and black sequined ensemble and a black fedora, is pictured onstage, looking down majestically at a cheering crowd, with his elbows bent slightly and his hands falling elegantly from his wrists.
