Ryan's journey at pulse began when he was 6 years old. He began in youth classes after being inspired by watching his older brother perform at one of the Pulse Shows. He then joined the program Beast Machine where his dancing excelled through the opportunity of meeting amazingly talented artists and learning from them. Ryan found different styles of dance in which he fell in love with, like Popping and Hip hop! He has great respect for the culture.
