About Ibey Pratt

Ibrahim “Ibey” Pratt is an award-winning cheer & dance choreographer, coach, and vocalist with almost 20 years of experience in the All-Star competitive industry.

Born and raised in Newark, New Jersey Ibey was first introduced to dance at his
local church and began leading the performances by 5 years of age. Eventually his
family made the move to Lubbock, Texas where he learned about competitive
cheer and dance. At 13 he started competing with a local gym and quickly found
his passion and by 15 began creating choreography and coaching. The values and
important characteristics that come with the growth in this sport have made such
a great impact that Ibey continued to pursue these passions after graduating
college. Currently he is working on voice overs for many producers while also
being the director of Dance Athletics Frisco and creating memorable choreography with Zero Deductions.

When Ibey isn’t working he is typically spending quality time with friends and close family or focusing on his body building.

Coaching Philosophy

Winning is always a goal. It feels amazing to know you’re the best, but it isn’t the most important aspect of the sports we partake in. It’s the lessons you learn along the way and the passion for the talent that we foster. You learn more from a loss. How to get back up and prevail over something that once knocked you down. How to apply those lessons to the real world where life is unpredictable and relentless. I make sure to teach from every aspect of the sport. How to win and how to lose. I want my athletes to lead with kindness but to also have the determination and fervor to hold their ground when anything tries to deter them from their goals.

Choreography Style

My choreography is powerful, comprehensible, and always a full performance. I love to range between the many different genres within Hip-Hop. The music really set’s the mood for the routine, allowing the athlete to channel their emotions and create a more authentic look on stage.

Every song has its own story to tell and not only do I highlight that through movement but the athlete as well. Creating choreography that athletes will enjoy, and the judges will appreciate.
