Bob Tyler grew up in Batavia, NY and began dancing at the age of 10. He studied under the instruction of Robin Cotler, director of Images in Dance, and competed at the national level until he graduated from high school in 2008. Later that year he began studying at The University of the Arts and graduated in May 2012 with a BFA in Dance Performance majoring in ballet. While at school, he studied and performed works by choreographers such as Brian Sanders, Ronen Koresh, Scott Jovovich, and Paul Sewlyn Norton as well as excerpts of works by William Forsythe under the direction of Douglas Becker and was selected to perform at the Joyce Theater in NYC to represent The University of the Arts.
