Ryan Bogart

Ryan Bogart began dancing in Crystal River, FL and at the age of 13 was accepted on scholarship into the School of Southern Ballet Theatre (now the Orlando Ballet). He rose up through the ranks of the youth and apprentice companies to become a soloist with the professional company. He trained for 2 years in NYC at the Joffrey Ballet School with Trinette Singleton, John Magnus & Francesca Corkle and at Steps on Broadway with Joe Lanteri. He has danced professionally with ballet companies in Pennsylvania and Indiana and returned to FL, upon the birth of his son, to dance with Bay Ballet Theatre in Tampa and Ballet Theatre International in St. Petersburg. Ryan also worked for the Brandon Ballet as Ballet Master and Guest Artist and taught Ballet and Jazz classes at The Dance Center. He has co-directed dance schools with his wife, Ronnie, in Florida and Missouri and been a guest dancer, teacher, choreographer, coach, and judge for numerous companies, schools and dance organizations throughout Florida. He is excited to be back teaching at the Brandon Ballet.
