Angel Raymond & Ally Cruz
Angel Raymond
Meet Angel Raymond—attorney by day, dance floor risk-taker by night! Born in Portland, Oregon and raised in the Seattle area, Angel brings wit, heart, and fearless energy to the Dancing for Our Stars stage. She earned her undergraduate degree from Arizona State University and her Juris Doctorate from Arizona Summit Law School, and now dedicates her career to helping people through life’s toughest moments.
Angel is married to her biggest supporter, Keith, and is the proud mom of three sons—Andrew (22) and identical twins Kingston and Mason (18). Their lively household also includes Lady the dog and Meatball the cat.
A strong believer in volunteering and giving back, Angel jumped into this event as a fun way to support a meaningful cause. While she admits the gym is not her comfort zone, she’s excited to learn new moves and step outside it. Fun fact: she can juggle and once attended clown camp—so expect surprises. Objection overruled… it’s time to dance!
Ally Cruz
Allison “Ally” Cruz is 28, unstoppable, and has been dancing since she was three—so basically, she was born to perform! A lover of all things dance, singing, theatre, and musicals, Ally thrives with Alyssa’s Little Dancers and the Dancing for Our Stars community.
She joined this event as an extra, fell in love with the energy, then leveled up to a professional role last year. This year marks her second year as a pro, and she’s back with even more excitement—plus the honor of helping the Boys & Girls Club team teach Maricopa members the opening act.
Offstage, Ally is a certified makeup artist, painter, writer, and proud parent of four dogs and a gecko. Public speaking may make her freeze, but on the stage, she’s all heart, all energy, and all in.
