Ryan, born on November 19, 1989, always liked dancing, but it wasn’t until he took his first Salsa class, when he was 14, that he noticed that dancing was his true love. Fortunately, it wasn’t just a love, but also a talent.
From Salsa, he quickly got a grasp of other latin dances such as Merengue, Cha cha and Bachata. He has given several Salsa performances, and even got the opportunity to dance for the Queen of Holland during the Kingdom Games in ’05.
However, it was in Jan ’06 when Ryan discovered the dance that he is most passionate about, Zouk. He got his first lesson from Pasty, an internationally known Zouk dancer from Holland, and then he immediately asked for more classes.
There were no Zouk classes in Curacao yet; however, ex-Zouklover Holland, Chandrika Floridas, moved back to Curacao and started her own new Zouk group and accepted Ryan as a member of the “Zouklovers Curacao.”
Ryan joined and together with Chandrika, Fayolah and Kimberly (his two main dance partners), Ryan introduced Zouk to Curacao.
After putting Zouk on the map in Curacao, Ryan unexpectedly moved to Los Angeles. There, he further explored his dancing skills with Hip Hop, Dancehall and Waacking.
All his dance experiences contributes to the dancer that he is today. With love and passion, Ryan dominates dance floors with his unique body movements and musicality.
Ryan Wong, now situated in Los Angeles, is ready to bring and share his all time favorite dance to the United States, Brazilian Zouk!
