Ron “Prime Tyme” Myles was born and raised in Memphis, in a neighborhood called Orange Mound, where he was the only dancer in the area. In 2009, Myles moved to Los Angeles with his cousin and close friend Charles “Lil Buck” Riley, and since then, he has become one of the premier interpreters of the style of dance known as Memphis Jookin’, often in partnership with Riley. Since 2009, Myles has appeared as a featured dancer in the 2011 film Footloose, in a Diet Pepsi segment alongside Sofia Vergara, and in a spot for Adidas Originals, as well as in a TED Talk. He has headlined evenings at the Vail International Dance Festival, where he also works with children from Celebrate the Beat, a program that offers hundreds of students in the Vail Valley intensive music and dance classes in a week-long summer residency.
