    What doesn't challenge you wont make you grow

    The Canadian dancer, choreographer, producer and artist, Edgar Reyes, has channelled his visionary and creative energy into Alberta’s urban dance community. His love for the art and his unparalleled strive for excellence has led him to carve a new path in the world of performing and teaching. Edgar is one of Calgary’s leading choreographers that emerged in the wake of the influences of traveling around the world, training in Jazz, Afro-Cuban, Swing, Latin and funk styles by the Boogaloos. Edgar has transformed his style of movement into a diverse and unique way of expression. Training in California and New York, Edgar absorbed the acute attention and detail of both coasts unique styles of hip hop. With a little collaboration and refining of his own visual and conceptual vocabulary of his movement, Edgar’s urban twist on movement emerged through his focus on the points of intersection between the sharp and intricate styles of California and the raw flavours of New York.

    Edgar’s skills and knowledge resulted in a long term opportunity to work alongside choreographer Luther brown. While doing so, Edgar became fluent in the video styles of hip hop and was able to showcase his talents by working with artists such as Keisha Chante, Eva Avila and Blake McGrath. Being born and raised in Calgary, Edgar spent many years training as a Jazz performer with the only full time North American professional Jazz Company called Decidedly Jazz Danceworks. This expansion of his adaptability in movement allowed him to achieve his successful appearance on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA Season 3. Edgar’s time in the spot light as one of the top five male dancers led him to travel internationally and work with such choreographers as, Sabrina Matthews, and Mia Michael’s.

    Being one of the founders of illFX Entertainment, Edgar is busy producing high end entertainment for corporate Calgary. Working with some of the highest budgets and top grossing companies such as Cenovous, Shell and Audi, illFX has managed and continues to raise the bar on corporate entertainment. With their major success, illFX entertainment is now the number one sought out dance crew in Calgary and surrounding areas.

    Edgar continues to train and explore his creativity in dance, production, and artistic direction and is currently the assistant choreographer of a show overseas in China that will soon take the stage all over the world.

    With over 20 years dance training (Continuing still today) , 17 years of teaching experience, I bring energy and enthusiasm to my classes with an emphasis on proper technical training, alignment and fun.  I began my training at the Sherwood Park School of Dance at the age of 3. Having studied Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, Hip Hop, Latin, Tap, and Musical Theatre, I have won many top awards as a performer and choreographer. Eight years ago, I founded and ran a dance program (Let’s Dance Academy) that had successful chapters in five different communities all over Edmonton and surrounding area, offering dance lessons to all including under privileged families; as I believe all children should be able to experience the magic of dance regardless of their ability, disability, background or age. I put all my heart and soul into this program not only teaching and choreographing all classes and routines but did everything from advertising, registrations, show planning and even sewing everyone’s costumes! I have choreographed numerous theatre productions including “Seussical Jr” in 2011 for Festival Place Theatre.

    This past year I completed my kids yoga teacher certification through Sattva School of Yoga, Moksha yoga 500 hour intensive teacher training, and CanGym NCCP level 1.

    “ Dance lives deep in my soul and will forever be a part of my heart . I consider dance to be the most wondrous art form.”

    Riley Skworoda is an accomplished international performer, dynamic and innovative dance educator and highly respected, original choreographer with many awards to her credit. She is based in Alberta, Canada, having attained a Bachelor of Arts recreation sports and tourism degree from the University of Alberta, with a focus in dance and drama. Dancing and teaching from a young age, she also endured the rigours of completing AG tap exams as well as becoming a fully certified and qualified ADAPT dance educator. Although a well respected, successful teacher and choreographer in many disciplines, including; contemporary, lyrical, and jazz, but her true passion and focus is Tap.

    With a voracious appetite for travel and for training with today’s biggest names in the tap dance community, Riley travelled to NY City in 2013 to attend the Big Apple Tap festival, soloing to great accolades in the BATF Showcase. During the summer of 2013 Riley travelled to the Rhythm Summit by Tapmotif in Lefkada, Greece, to train intensively with Heather Cornell, Max Pollak and Thanos Daskalopoulos, which sparked a passion for working with live musicians. 

    Riley set her sights on the international tap dance scene, applying to and accepted into the Escola Luthier advanced professional tap training program under the direction of Guillem Alonso in Barcelona, Spain, where she spent 9 months living, training and performing.  Although a North American art form, Riley discovered a dedicated European tap dance community.  During her time in Spain she was also most honored to receive training from and be mentored by the internationally renowned tap innovator, Roxane Butterfly, at Roxane’s Jimmy Slyde institute in Barcelona.  As a fully fledged member of the Barcelona Tap family, Riley was thrilled to be a part of the year round gazebo Sunday tap jams in the stunning Ciutadella Park, a weekly event which delights locals and tourists alike. 

    While living in Europe, Riley preformed as part of an ensemble throughout Spain at many events, as well as appearing as guest performers at the Montpellier Tap Festival in France.  She attended the 12 day Stockholm Tap festival in Sweden, Europe’s biggest tap festival, where she completed a performance residency with Jason Samuel Smith as well as a teacher’s choice residency with Joseph Wiggan. Most recently Riley attended Nicholas Young’s Institute for The Rhythmic Arts in Chicago, Illinois, where she studied in not only tap dance but also rudimentary drumming, hand percussion, and body percussion. 

    As her adventure continues, Riley is eager to stop along the way to share her passion and to inspire and be inspired by budding tap talent as they too become members of the global tap family.
