Jennifer Malaquias Ryan has been consistently pursuing her passion for the performing arts for almost her entire life. She began at the age of three studying classical ballet at the Mid-Cape Ballet Academy under the pedagogy of Russian prima ballerina, Virginia Zango Traub. She participated in over a decade of recitals and Nutcrackers where she had the pleasure of performing most of the cast roles. From there, she began ballet and fusion competitions, placing high gold in several categories both as a soloist and as an ensemble performer.
