Contact Ryoga

Hi there! My name is Ryoga and I've been practicing Tutting for over 12 years now. I am member of the performance group called Xtrap, which made it to the semi-finals of Asia's Got Talent. Before discovering Tutting as a genre, I was a self-taught animation dancer who had heard about Tutting and Digitz. But when I stumbled upon Nari's performance on Youtube, I was so impressed that I began to study Tutting and Digitz skills in earnest. Nari became my mentor and teammate, and while learning the basic skills from him, I also went to Baltimore many times to learn various techniques from the originators of Digitz. I was amazed by the shapes created with fingers and hands, which made me realize that the human imagination is limitless. I developed my own unique style of Tutting by fusing the Tutting I grew up with from the street Popping culture, with the Digitz/Liquid I grew up with from the RAVE culture. Being in the vortex of the spread of Tutting and Finger Tutting, I've developed numerous innovative moves and made a significant impact on the community. My contributions have been recognized through winning competitions and serving as a judge for many years. Additionally, I've taught Tutting classes at studios and online for an extended period, and my students have gone on to create their own unique moves. As a professional dancer and performer, I find Tutting's regularity of movement to be visually pleasing and capable of creating delightful surprises. While I have been exploring ways to make Tutting and Fingertutting more accessible to the general public, I have rediscovered the original appeal of Tutting and grown to love it even more. I find it captivating how different body forms can express their imagination and emotions through their unique movements. As a highly respected teacher in the scene, teaching students all of the world, I am proud to be recognized as one of the best in my respected style. With my vast experience, I have had the privilege of witnessing various types of Tutting throughout history, and I am excited to share my observations and insights. Through teaching I want to create a world where Tutting is loved by more people and I want to open more doors expanding the possibilities of tutting. When you enter the world of Tutting, the world of Tutting becomes a little wider, that means my world will become wider. Through my creative exploration, I have been able to turn my passion into a career. I've had the privilege of working on a variety of exciting projects, including music videos, commercials, live performances, and advertisements. If you are interested in learning more about my work or would like to inquire about any type of promotional or commercial work, please feel free to contact me below for my resume and additional information.
