Meet Ricky

Ricky Maalouf found dance later than most, picking it up while at Arizona State University. From there he danced with NBA and WNBA teams across Arizona, performed alongside recording artist Yasmeen on tour with Omarion, and joined the professional company Automatic Response, seen on America's Best Dance Crew and opening for My Chemical Romance and Fergie. His resume also includes work with Dillard's, LRG, and Kiss FM.

Somewhere along the way, teaching became the real passion. Students who have trained with Ricky have gone on to dance with artists like Justin Bieber and Missy Elliott, and have been featured on So You Think You Can Dance, World of Dance, Dancing with the Stars, Dancing with the Stars Juniors, Ellen, Dance Moms, Disney's Shake It Up, and America's Got Talent.

Ricky has taught at conventions, companies, and universities across the country, working alongside some of the industry's best choreographers and dancers. His classes are high energy, hard working, and built to help every dancer enjoy the process along the way.
