Ryadah Heiskell
Ryadah has been choreographing since 2012 for recreational, competition, and concert dance. Her choreography combines jazz, modern, contemporary, and hip-hop dance styles to create unique, entertaining works. Ryadah’s approach to choreography involves exploring time/space dynamics based in musicality, specifically polyrhythms, and the manipulation of traditional technique along with hip hop and social dance to create unique steps & motifs throughout each piece. While she is always inspired directly by the music, her goal is always to highlight the skills of the dancers she’s working with. Most of her concert dance work explores abstract concepts relating to psychology, community, interpersonal relationships, & the human experience.
