Montay Romero is a Los Angeles based multi disciplinary artist who was born in San Diego, California. He received his BFA in Dance Performance from the University of the Arts (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) in 2015. Montay is a choreographer, educator, movement artist, and performer. He has worked with a range of celebrities, brands, actors, musicians, and public figures through commercial, concert, and performative dance. With a strong desire to unfold the layers of his identity as an Afro-Latino queer male, Montay is on a journey of excavation and discovery, both physically and spiritually. The relationship and connection to his inner world continues to serve as a navigation system for the embodiment of his expression and creativity. Years of movement research has landed Montay on a foundation of experience that is eager for integration, elevation, and pathways to healing through moving the body with awareness. While concert dance has been the vehicle driving his passion for movement, he arrived in the underground ballroom scene in 2015 which activated a core awakening through a form of movement called vogue. Montay currently explores how the agreements between vogue and contemporary forms can bring forth prolific innovation, release, and healing in the body. The practice of deepening his relationship to these forms separately have created space for a conversation between them to exist simultaneously. Montay allows the modalities to speak truthfully while directing them through a synchronistic and harmonious process. Montay plans to continue creating space for others to learn, witness, and experience the gift of movement through a unique and emerging perspective.
