Ryan Pasqualetto

Owner

In August, 1997 Ryan Pasqualetto was enrolled in his first dance class. He was only 5 years old and had been watching his older sister dance in her recitals in the previous years. After Ryan would escape his mothers lap numerous times to dance in the aisle ways, she had decided to finally place him in a structured class. From there, Ryan began to grow as a dancer and every year would enroll in more classes then the previous year. When Ryan was 7 years old he started to compete in competition dance, already placing in the top ten, showing off his technique and personality to the judges. When Ryan turned 15 he had decided that he wanted to further his dance career, so once a week his mother started driving him to the top known studios in Los Angeles including, Millenium Dance Complex, Debbie Allen’s, Debbie Reynolds and The Edge. From the start Ryan was being noticed by the top choreographers and would always be asked to perform for the other students in class. Realizing that this was the career choice he wanted to pursue, he started to choreograph at his own studio. He had also been offered a position to teach at one of the top dance studios in the nation, which he did for the summer of 2007. Every time his choreographed numbers were submitted to competition, it was expected to always place in the top 5, along with winning specialty awards. He started attending a dance convention called The Pulse, winning a protégé scholarship and assisting choreographers like Dave Scott, Chris Judd and Tyce Diorio. During that year Ryan was also signed with one of the largest dance agencies named DDO. After about two years he started getting offers to teach at multiple dance studios and schools. Realizing that he wanted to learn and grow more in dance and choreography, Ryan decided to move to Los Angeles to get a degree and continue learning everything he could about dance. He was later picked up by another top agency and was signed to MSA. While living in Los Angeles he made connections with Kobi Rozenfeld (Beyonce’s Choreographer), Bobby Newberry (Pussycat Dolls Choreographer), Ashley Valerio (SYTYCD Contestant), Nathan Trasoras (SYTYCD Contestant) along with many others. He hopes to create an environment in which dancers can not only grow, but will feel like they have a second home.
