Destanye Diaz

Originally from Miami, Florida, Destanye Diaz has built an impressive career as both a performer and choreographer. Her artistry has been showcased on numerous Latin television programs, and she has had the privilege of assisting top choreographers while touring with DanceOne (formerly Break The Floor), as well as working closely with her longtime mentors Victor Smalley and Angel Armas.

Destanye began dancing at just three years old, performing her first solo by the age of four. By seven, she had fully immersed herself in an elite dance training regimen that included homeschooling to accommodate her demanding schedule. Under the direction of Angel Armas and Victor Smalley at Stars Dance Studio, Destanye developed into one of the nation’s premier competitive dancers. Her foundation in ballet and contemporary styles is complemented by versatility across modern, tap, and hip-hop, giving her performances a distinctive edge and emotional depth.

Now an accomplished choreographer, Destanye continues to inspire the next generation of dancers. She has created award-winning choreography for soloists and groups at top national competitions including Jump, Nuvo, 24 Seven, Radix, and NYCDA, and collaborates with studios across the U.S. and internationally. With her blend of technical excellence, creative vision, and mentorship, Destanye empowers young artists to reach their fullest potential—on stage and beyond.
