Ryan Halprin is a choreographer based in Los Angeles, California. 

After catching the musical theater bug in middle school he told people he wanted to start dancing to get better at sports. Which was half true. Eventually he quit the football team to dance at the halftime shows instead.

While jazz and hip hop classes provided a foundation, he never missed an episode of So You Think You Can Dance and to this day defends it as one of the best competition shows ever. Inspired by the world class athletes dancing to fresh choreography in multiple genres every week, he made a habit of learning the routines off of YouTube and recreating them with friends.

At Harvard College Ryan spent four years in the cast of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals, a drag musical directed and choreographed by professionals. Outside of performing with the Pudding he directed and choreographed musical theater and other dance shows around campus, spending a lot more time in rehearsal than in the classroom before moving to California to join the film and TV industry.

Like all great adventures, choreographing weddings started as a spontaneous experiment before it became real. Ryan fantasized with friends about how fun it would be to put together a dance number for for their wedding that would help tell their story to all their loved ones on the big day. His friends took a chance on him and he's had a blast doing the same with every couple since.
