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 with her fiancée.
Angelina Benitez graduated from Salem State University with a B.A in both Modern/Contemporary Dance and has since studied at Bates Dance Festival and continues to study with local Boston-based artists. Her choreography at Salem State was presented at Boston's American College Dance Association Conference and earned her a Presidential Arts Scholarship and a Creativity Award in Dance. Angie has immersed herself in teaching dance in the Greater Boston area at local studios, schools, and residencies. Her recent performance experience includes local arts festivals and events such as Verse / Visual, 24 Hour ChoreoFest, Salem Arts Festival, Art Walk with Luminarium, and more. Much of her work is focused in collaboration, especially with her creative and life partner, Rebecca Lang. When she's not teaching dance, you can find her working as a social media strategist, creating fiber art, and taking pole dance classes.
