Angel Peguero & Stephany Moore
Angel Peguero was born in New York City and raised in Philadelphia, where he first developed his athletic abilities through boxing, basketball, and football. At 18, Angel discovered Latin dance and quickly realized that it was his true passion. He began training with four-time World Champion Darlin Garcia and later continued his development with two-time World Champion Noel Rodriguez, studying Salsa, Bachata, and Merengue. Angel soon established himself as a competitive dancer, earning three World Champion titles at the World Salsa Summit. His training has taken him internationally to countries including Italy, China, and Canada. Today, Angel is based in New York City, where he continues to compete, teach, and develop his distinctive style. Known for his charisma, high energy, dynamism and intricate partner work, he brings an athletic intensity to his dancing and teaching.
Stephany Moore was born in Venezuela and raised in South Florida, where she began her artistic journey with ballet at age six. At 14, she explored modeling and acting through Barbizon Modeling and Acting School before discovering her true passion for Latin dance at 17. She learned her first Salsa steps at Prestige Dance Company and trained there for seven years, eventually traveling throughout the United States and internationally to continue her education. Stephany has performed alongside artists including Prince Royce, Sheila E., and Roberto Roena, and won first place at the World Salsa Summit with her coach Melanie Castillo. Now based in New York City, she continues to advance her Salsa career while also working as a self-taught makeup artist and educator. Her charismatic personality and ability to clearly teach complex techniques have become trademarks of her work.
Angel and Stephany debuted their first routine together in November 2018 and quickly developed an international following. Their partnership combines Angel’s athletic, high-energy approach with Stephany’s expressive performance style and extensive salsa background. Within their first months performing together, they were invited to teach and perform across the United States, Singapore, and Cuba. Now based in New York City, they continue to train and teach while building their presence in the international Salsa community. Together, they offer weekly online salsa lessons to students around the world and teach in-person partner work at Empire Mambo Dance Studio in Times Square. Their ambitious and charismatic partnership has earned recognition from mentors and peers, while their goal remains to continue growing as artists, educators, performers, and representatives of the New York Latin dance scene.
