Riley McGaff

Former DWC Ambassador | pronouns: he/they

Riley McGaff has made a career out of many creative fields including dance, going from being a Creative Director in the graphic design and marketing world to now running a dance studio. Riley could never have guessed how his life would change by walking into the dance studio in 2021, and they haven't stopped dancing since. After falling in love with ballet they took many classes every week and also did privates with Adam Ashcroft and Ellen Mäkäela (two soloists) over zoom to further his love for technique. In 2022 Riley was asked to be in a show for the first time and discovered another love, performing. Now Riley manages Westlake Dance Center along with it's annual showcase Sign of the Times (while also performing in multiple pieces) and loves being able to support the community that has come to mean so much to him.
