Ray ‘NastyRay’ Mora was inspired to dance at the age of 13, when he saw some local bboys performing at his middle school dance. Knowing little knowledge about breaking, he purchased a VHS tape which he rewound repeatedly trying to imitate the dancers and their movements. As soon as his mother noticed this new interest, she enrolled him in breaking classes that only added fuel to the already growing fire. In the years that followed, he would travel the world to compete, judge, teach, and work commercially in all things dance. During this time, he was given the name ‘NastyRay’ for his uncanny ability to stick various freeze combinations while riding the rhythm of the music with style and ease. Presently, NastyRay continues to fill his passport all the while inspiring others through the program he helped build, FutureArtsNow!, his clothing line, 1nspirationIsFree, and of course his dance.
