Annabella Gonzalez Dance Theater presents age-appropriate dances for children in both formal and informal settings including theaters, public school auditoriums, public libraries and parks. Kids' programs are highly varied. Led by Director Annabella Gonzalez, an experienced educator, programs consist of short works with fun introductory commentary and questions to involve, educate and entertain children (i.e., "What is dance?", "Can we dance in silence?", "What happens when you put a mask on your face?") and a final, interactive question and answer period. Pre- and post-program information strengthens each program's impact.
Foreign-language Programs
Some 30% of the company's programs are offered bilingually in English and Spanish. Brochures are available in Spanish.
