After bringing his talent from New York City to Los Angeles, from the big screen to the small screen and even to the stage, dancer/CHOREOGRAPHER Richard Giorla, has used his over 25 years of experience and classical training to create CARDIO BARRE®, one of today’s hottest new fitness workouts.
Born in Philadelphia, Richard recognized his passion for dance at a young age. After being awarded a scholarship to the prestigious Pennsylvania Ballet Company, he moved to New York City to further expand his technique. Inspired by the energy and "non-traditional" dancing in the hit film "Flashdance", he was on the streets of Manhattan pop- locking and break dancing with a group of young dancers who shared their moves in exchange for Giorla’s tutoring.
As he sharpened his skills as a "breaker" and hip hop dancer, he continued to study classical dance, a unique combination that would lead to many opportunities in the future. After being cast at an open call for Chippendales, in what many consider one of the most controversial shows of its time, Giorla grew as a dancer and leader and was named Dance Captain of this New York troupe. Under the suggestion of the body builders and actors with whom he worked, Giorla decided to move to Los Angeles to further his performance career. He was immediately signed for representation and began to land roles in feature films, television shows, music videos, commercials and stage productions. |
