Xtra Hot: Ryan

‘Reading is a great escape from your own life and troubles’

Name: Ryan Scheel

Age: 29

Sign: Aquarius

Choreographer and performer Ryan moved to Toronto from the small town of Elmira, Ontario. On weekdays he likes to go out to Pegasus with his boys to play pool and darts, and on weekends it’s dancing and shows at Crews or Fly.

Ryan loves to talk about books, even if some people find it boring. “Reading is a great escape from your own life and troubles. It’s relaxing to start the morning with a book and a coffee for a couple of hours or to sit in a café engulfed in a story.”

Keep up with Ryan’s upcoming shows and performances on Facebook (facebook.com/ryangscheel), Twitter (ryanchase29) and Instagram (ry0129).
