About
Angela Duran
Founder and lead practitioner of Dance To Me — a Durham-rooted practice built on the belief that expression belongs to everyone.
Community and the Arts
Angela Duran is a multidisciplinary artist, dance facilitator, and community wellness advocate based in Durham, North Carolina, who switched her career to follow her dreams: to devote herself fully to the arts, healing, and service. Drawing from her experience with the Autism Society of North Carolina and her ongoing coaching work with families of neurodivergent children, but also from her own lived experience as a freestyle dancer, she designs movement spaces that honor different ways of processing the world, inviting participants to reconnect mind, body, and soul through playful, intentional dance.
Since she arrived to Durham in 2021, Angela has collaborated with several public schools and non-profit organizations in the making of fulfilling experiences for the community. She brings a ton of good energy and her latino background to enrich the cultural panorama for the people in the Triangle and beyond.
Founder and Lead Practitioner
Her Dancefulness™ classes and workshops—offered regularly in partnership with the Durham Arts Council—create judgment-free environments where adults and children alike experiment the freedom of moving to themselves and find their own rhythm.
Through Dance To Me, Angela continues to develop new offerings that weave together intentional awareness, creative expression, and somatic practice, inviting every participant to listen deeply, move authentically, and transform everyday motion into art.
