Ryan Fields
Legacy Instructor: Hip Hop Dance
Program: Calgary & Surrounding Areas Gift of Music Direct Drive/DJ Program
Ryan's Bio
“When I was really young - in the 2nd or 3rd grade - my mother put me in a break-dancing (b-boy) class which I don't really remember. What I remember well is seeing b-boying on Much Music when I was 18-years old. That was when I started to get serious about making dance a part of my life.” Ryan has travelled nation - wide perfecting his skills as a dancer. He has competed in competitions like the Freestyle Sessions Special Edition in Seattle as well as the Canadian National B-boy Competition in Calgary and a ton of other comps. “I made a decision the first time I saw the dance - it was in my soul to become the best I could be. This wasn't something I just did on weekends, I danced every day - it was my passion, my life and soul. The self expression I feel will never fade away. It's my life and I love sharing that same feeling with the world.”
