Elle Ryder is a professional dancer, choreographer, and educator based in Los Angeles, known for her vibrant teaching style and heartfelt approach to movement. With a focus on Latin Ballroom, Jazz, and Commercial styles, she creates welcoming spaces for dancers of all backgrounds to explore technique, artistry, and joy.

Elle is the founder of one of LA’s most beloved Latin Ballroom group classes at Playground LA, where she’s built a community centered on accessibility, self-expression, and growth. Her teaching is rooted in musicality, connection, and intention—shaped by her background as both a competitive dancer and a certified yoga instructor.

Through group classes, private coaching, competition prep, and custom choreography for weddings and special events, Elle is passionate about helping each student feel seen, challenged, and celebrated in their unique journey.

When she’s not teaching, Elle is often filming creative content, judging dance competitions, or fostering dogs. She’s a big believer in espresso rituals, silly moments, and dancing through life with purpose.
