Ryan Kirby, Artist in Residence

Edge Co Training Advancement

Ryan Kirby began dancing at the age of 6, training until he graduated school in his hometown of Greenville, SC. After graduation, he worked as a company director for Starz Artistic Performing Company. It was there that his choreography won numerous national first overalls and FDC awards. After directing for 2 years, Ryan decided to pursue his dream of dancing professionally and moved to Los Angeles, California. After moving, Ryan worked on Glee, toured the country with Macy's passport and on the 2015 Pentatonix tour, worked on a Toyota commercial, and on several music videos and industrials. He also taught at IDA (international dance academy) in Hollywood, Mather Dance Company, and EVOLVE dance intensives as faculty. Ryan returned to his home of Starz in 2018 and has been teaching and traveling since.

We are proud to have him working with our Edge Co dancers and train our students to continue pushing and inspiring them in their art.
