Angel Ramirez

My name is Angel Ramirez. I am a dancer based in Gaithersburg, MD. I started dancing when I was 16 years old in 2017. Never would I ever think dance would become my passion. I am inspired every day by other amazing dancers. I am a self-taught dancer, currently in training. I learn new things every day. Dancing has become my world. When I'm dancing, I am the happiest man alive.

My dance journey began at a competitive Latin dance team at Magruder High School, at the age of 16. Learning about Latin dance every day, learning choreography every day, competing, performing at different local events, was an amazing experience. With this Latin dance company, I was able to compete at the Annual Latin Dance competition(s) at Strathmore Music Center, as well as Regional Latin Dance competition(s) at the Kennedy Center in D.C. But that wasn't enough for me.

​

My passion for dance was so strong and I was hungry for more. I decided to self-teach my self onto learning different skills in the dance form of contemporary, as well as jazz.

​

In 2018, I began my formal training at CityDance in Bethesda, MD. Taking classes of classical ballet, contemporary, contemporary jazz, modern, Martha Graham technique, jazz, as well as many other masterclasses.

​

At CityDance, I have had the honor of working with professional dance companies like Bruce Wood Dance, Koresh Dance, YY Dance, Alex Neoral (Focus Cia de Dança Company), Choreographers Willy Tsao, Earl Mosley, Wang Yuanyuan, Robert J. Priore, and Sarah J. Ewing.

​

I strive to learn new things every day. I can't wait to see what the future holds for me.
