His passion quickly grew beyond the classroom as he began professional training at South Florida Dance Company, where he studied ballet, jazz, and contemporary. During that time, Angel was introduced to Wings to Fly Dance Company\u2014a group that performs with individuals with special needs, embracing the motto: \u201cwe make people\u2019s disabilities their abilities and give them their wings to fly and dance.\u201d Angel still proudly dances and performs with them today. In late 2023, he began his professional ballroom career and has loved the journey ever since. Through working alongside Tanya and Michael, Angel has learned so much about the discipline, passion, and dedication it takes not only to grow as a dancer but to pour into his students as well. He\u2019s incredibly thankful for all they\u2019ve done for him and the ways they\u2019ve helped him grow. Angel also credits much of his personal transformation to the mentorship of Tasha, Tara, and Tena from Wings to Fly. Without dance, he wouldn\u2019t be the strong, charismatic, caring, and loving person he is today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8537,"template":"","class_list":["post-8487","team_member","type-team_member","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/port-st-lucie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team_member\/8487","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/port-st-lucie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team_member"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/port-st-lucie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/team_member"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/port-st-lucie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/port-st-lucie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
