(he/him)
Vibe: Dance
Music: Pop, Dance
Move with Riley and you'll find he never misses a beat.
His classes blend party and performance, featuring an energy and humour that will hook you from the very first track. His goal is to make every ride accessible and empowering, ensuring you're always reminded of your effort and accomplishments. His playlists combine the latest hits with pop classics everyone knows and loves – you can expect a little karaoke party at every ride with Riley.
Growing up, Riley kept his relationship with movement mostly private with dancing in his bedroom to Gaga, Britney, and Beyoncé. When he finally hit the stage in his senior year production, nobody could keep him away from the spotlight. This passion to entertain led him to the art of drag – under the stage name Whoda Thunkett, Riley has been delighting audiences with his electric moves since 2022. A true performer at heart, Whoda's spectacular energy often reveals itself in his spin classes. Expect to come for the ride, but stay for the show.
Beyond VERSŌ, Riley has two cats, Star and Cadenza, he loves reality TV, and his favourite colour is red.
