Mr. Bryan Ingram
Owner & Instructor
A southern gentleman from Columbia, South Carolina, Mr. Bryan Ingram has always loved dance. In fact, he spent most of his free time since childhood utilizing opportunities to perform, develop original choreography, and teach others. Bryan began his official journey into the dance world while earning a B.S. in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Despite having a later start with traditional training, at the age of 21, he quickly developed specialties in Modern, Jazz, Hip-Hop, and Contemporary. While studying at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC, Bryan trained under influential instructors including Sandra Neels (former dancer of Merce Cunningham in New York City) and Marcus Alford (former dancer of the Gus Giordano Dance Co. in Chicago).
In 2006, Bryan extended his professional career by performing in televised productions and with various dance companies in the Charlotte, North Carolina metropolitan area. Upon his graduation from college, he began performing abroad while working with various cruise lines (Royal Caribbean, Ltd., Norwegian Cruise Line, and Princess Cruises). After several years, his talents led him to a residential position working for Busch Gardens: Williamsburg (SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment under Bob Cline Casting), both performing and serving as choreography assistant to world-renowned Broadway choreographers and performers including Chase Brock (Spider-Man), Brad Bradley (Billy Elliot), Lisa Shiver (Jesus Christ Superstar), Karma Camp (Kiss of the Spiderwoman), and Matt West (Disney’s Beauty and the Beast).
To date, he has performed in over 15 countries, across six continents. Since his transition to Texas, Bryan has danced with companies and ensembles in the local DFW area such as Casa Mañana (West Side Story) and Arlington Music Hall (ChristmaSpectacular!). As the owner of Dance Axiom, Bryan has the expertise, determination, understanding, and compassion to assist each of our dancers to expand their knowledge in various dance styles as well as develop their artistry to a professional level whether they want to be professional or not.
