Biography
Angel Theory was born in Far Rockaway, Queens, New York! Angel began dancing at the age of 2 and immediately dance became part of her DNA. She was mesmerized by watching the king of pop, Michael Jackson. Consequently, the first dance step she learned was the iconic “moon walk”. Naturally great at free styling, she noticed that learning choreography was a skill that needed to be mastered so Angel acquired her early dance training at the Broadway Dance Center, EXPG studios, and Peridance Studios taking Tap, Hip Hop, Jazz, Ballet and Contemporary classes. Angel began performing amateur nights at the Apollo Theatre. She became an Apollo child star after winning first place in 6 consecutive competitions. Angel got her first big break with the help of director Lenny Bass, who’s directed videos for Jacob Latimore, Omi, and Etc. He came across a video Angel’s mom posted online and reached out directly to Angel to offer her a chance to dance for Phillip George in the “ Wish You Were Mine” and Charles Perry “Stranger To Love” Music Video. Seeing her face on the big screen was an eye opener and she knew that dancing and entertaining was her purpose. She’s not only inspired by Michael Jackson but also by successful entertainers like Chris Brown, Janet Jackson, Usher, and Justin Timberlake. This inspiration is anchored in these artist’s ability to stay true to their gift and touch others through music, dancing, and performances. With many hardships including hearing loss in her right ear, her determination and work ethic for being the best she could possibly be is what pushes her everyday. Today Angel no longer has to introduce herself with words, her dancing tells her intricate life story on its own. - Biography from Angel Theory's website
