Ryan Raines was born and raised in Gulfport, MS. He has been a performer his entire life with his first musical being The Little Mermaid in preschool. Later in his childhood, he found love for artistic gymnastics and liturgical dancing in the church. Once in high school, his love for dance and choreography accelerated as he found Biloxi High School Sound Surge Show Choir and Downstage Productions Theatre. He choreographed this award-winning show choir with his best friend Savannah Belcher, winning Best Choreography at the West Jones Invitational in 2015. His choreography has been seen throughout a few musical numbers for Downstage as well as his appearance in roles such as C.C. White in Dreamgirls and Seaweed in Hairspray. After temporarily relocating to Starkville, MS in 2018 Ryan choreographed for a competitive company in hip hop and contemporary. His choreography immerses dancers in emotion, musicality, and agility.
