Founder Annabella Gonzalez studied ballet, modern, Mexican and other dance forms in her native Mexico, the United States and Europe where she performed with “Theatre de l’Atelier” (Workshop Theater) in Geneva, Switzerland, touring in Switzerland and France.  She co-directed the New Choreographers Ensemble before creating AGDT.  She has choreographed over 70 dances premiered in NYC with her Latin Classicism including modern, experimental and comedic works.  Appearances in prestigious festivals include those ofJoseph Papp’s Latin Festival in New York and Lincoln Center Out-of-Doors, and her Company has been showcased in major international festivals in Mexico since 2009.

Annabella Gonzalez holds a B.A. in Art History from the University of Minnesota and an M.A. in Dance Education from Columbia University Teachers College where she was asked to create a new course, Traditional Mexican Dance, which she taught there for four years (1993-96). Her Mexican background and knowledge of traditional Mexican dances enrich her work and appeal to both Hispanic and non Hispanic populations, and her trilingual ability in English, Spanish and French enable her to reach out to diverse communities in these languages.
