Francisco Gella Dance Works 🇺🇸

About the channel

CHOREOGRAPHER / ARTISTIC DIRECTOR / EDUCATOR / THOUGHT LEADER. Francisco Gella’s distinguished twenty-five career as a compelling dancer, award-winning choreographer, and widely-recognized dance educator, began when he took his first formal dance class at the University of Washington at the age of nineteen. Francisco’s personal journey has shaped his approach to teaching and dance making. He got a late start and didn’t take his first dance class until age nineteen. Fighting through more than his share of obstacles and told ‘no’ more times than he can count, he’s moved on to a successful career. The struggle has motivated him to use a highly refined pedagogy with astounding results, transforming hardworking young adults into remarkable young artists regardless of body type or background, and instilling a belief in them that anything is possible with hard work, a sense of purpose, and a willingness to take risks.
