ANGELINA BENITEZ
Angie (Leo ☉, Taurus ↑ , Scorpio ☽) prides herself in having too many skills for her own good. Aside from being a generous and stunning modern dancer, she is also a surprisingly modest fiber artist, passionate cook, somewhat okay pole dancer, and thriving plant daddy. To survive in this capitalist society, she mainly teaches dance, works as an arts administrator, and sells her visual art on the side. When she isn't working, you can find her dying her hair a new color or being gay.
Angie Benitez (she/they) graduated from Salem State University with a B.A. in Modern/Contemporary Dance and has since studied at Bates Dance Festival and continues to study with local Boston-based artists. Angie has immersed herself in teaching dance and performing in the Greater Boston area at local studios, schools and residencies through organizations such as The Click, Human Movement Project, and at High Street Studios. Her recent performance experience includes local arts festivals and events such as Moving Through March, Roots & Routes, Verse / Visual, 24 Hour ChoreoFest, Salem Arts Festival, and more. Much of her work is focused on collaboration and community. When she’s not teaching dance, you can find her writing poetry, working as a social media strategist, creating fiber art, and meditating with her plants.
