Who is Ryan?
Ryan Campbell-Birch moved to Sydney from the UK a few months ago, and we are squeezing him for all his tap learnz before he goes back. Ryan teaches our Tuesday beginner tap dance classes, and leads these ocasional workshop days.
He has extensive teaching, performing, and choreographing experience (which you can read about on his website), and has a strong connection with the roots of tap and jazz dance. He is a legit hoofer.
Ryan is also interested in exploring the relationship between lindy hop, jazz dance, and tap, and is committed to the idea of tap dance as an improvised art form. He introduced himself to Sydney in a tap jam at the Jazz with Ramona weekend, he's entertained us at the Little Big Weekend, and he's recently discovered the Sydney live jazz scene.
