Today we’d like to introduce you to Moore Stephany and Angel Peguero.
Moore and Angel, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
Stephany Moore is a Latin Dancer born in Venezuela and raised in South Florida. At the age of six, Stephany took her first ballet class. After several years, Stephany traded in her ballet shoes for a camera. At the age of 14, she ventured into modeling and acting under the guidance of Barbizon Modeling and Acting school. Finally, at age 17 is when she discovered her passion for Latin Dance.
Stephany learned her first salsa steps at Prestige Dance Company, where she stayed for seven years. Since then, she has traveled the world while training and competing in various countries such as Mexico, Italy, and the USA. Stephany has had the honor of performing with amazing artists such as Prince Royce, Shelia E, and Roberto Roena. She has also participated in the World Salsa Summit, winning first place alongside her mentor and dance coach, Melanie Castillo. Stephany is currently living in New York City, where she is advancing in her Salsa training and establishing herself as a New York dancer to keep an eye on!
Angel Peguero is a Dominican Native, born in New York City, and raised in Philadelphia. Angel started off as a sport’s athlete, multi-talented in various sports, predominantly in boxing, basketball, and football. At the age of 18, Angel discovered his passion for Latin dance and never looked back. He began his training with 4x World Champion, Darlin Garcia, then also trained with 2x World Champion, Noel Rodriguez. Angel learned various styles of Latin dance, such as Salsa, Bachata, and Merengue. Angel has competed in the World Salsa Summit, where he won 3 World Champion titles. He has trained in various countries, including Italy, China, and Canada. While teaching in his workshops, Angel is known for his charisma and high energy, all while challenging his students with dynamic shine and intricate partner work. Today, Angel resides in New York City, where he continues to train and establish himself as a rising star in the New York Dance Scene!
Angel and Stephany are a force to be reckoned with! After debuting their first routine on November 2018, this young couple quickly developed a fan base all over the world. Within their first couple of months performing, they have been invited to teach and perform throughout the United States. Furthermore, they’re taking their first international trips this upcoming April to Singapore and soon after, they will be heading to Cuba. This ambitious and charismatic couple has begun making their mark in the Latin dance community, earning recognition and respect from their mentors and peers.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Success never seems to root from a smooth ride in life. We have faced several adversities as many other dancers in the industry, specifically being based in one of the most expensive cities in the country. Also not being originally from there was a struggle within itself, but what we take the most pride in is our drive and ambition to follow our dreams in the arts despite how unconventional it can be for others.
We’d love to hear more about your work.
Angel and I are professional Latin dancers and we specialize in New York-style Salsa On2.
