Ryan Conferido (born Daniel Ryan Conferido;
Song: Huey Lewis & The News – Power of Love
June 13, 1983), also known as Ryanimay, is an American bboy best known for being a member of Quest Crew, who were declared America's Best Dance Crew champions on March 5, 2009. He was also a contestant on the first season of the United States dance competition television series, So You Think You Can Dance, finishing among the season's top 10 finalists.Born in Downey, California, Conferido is a Filipino American. He was raised in a strict religious household where dance was discouraged. He picked up bboying on his own in high school. In 2005, though he had no formal training, he decided to audition for the first season of the Fox dance competition So You Think You Can Dance. His impressive self-taught
breakdancing
style earned him rave comments from the judges and was eventually picked as one of the top 16 finalists for the show. On the premiere episode, his ability to pick up what seems to be a technically difficult Latin dance routine brought him a standing ovation. He proceeded through multiple rounds of eliminations, and was one of the last 10 dancers eliminated.
Prior to his fame in the Fox show, Conferido appeared in numerous movies as an extra.
Conferido was also seen in some of the audition episodes during the 2006 season accompanying some of his dancing associates who were trying out during the new auditions in
Los Angeles. He and his "
Sickstep" dance troupe were invited to be featured performers on the June 21, 2006 episode.
Following news that he and other members have officially left the dance crew Sickstep, Conferido started his own crew, called Quest Crew, together with Hokuto "Hok" Konishi, Steve Terada, Victor Kim, Nick Teti, Brian Hirano, Ryan Feng, Dominic Sandoval, Andy Luo, Lydia Paek & Aris Paracuelles. During MTV's America's Best Dance Crew, they went all the way to become Season Three Champions. Conferido is also a core member of the b-boy crew "The City Drifters". He has appeared in the second music video of "Scars" by Papa Roach, the live action adaptation of Fat Albert, the Bboy DVD Unsigned Undadog, and "Based on a True Story, volume 2".
