The Footprints program bridges ADF’s performance and education series, featuring three ADF-commissioned world premieres by renowned choreographers and performed by ADF students. This year’s choreographers are Ravid Abarbanel, Michelle N. Gibson, and Tú Hoàng. Abarbanel, an Israeli/Portuguese dancer and choreographer, teaches dynamic floorwork and improvisational classes worldwide. Gibson, an ADF alum and 15-year faculty member, specializes in African Diaspora dance styles and her own New Orleans Second Line Aesthetic. Hoàng, the founder of Hangtho Creatives, blends ballet, modern dance, kung fu, tai chi, and Hip-hop, reflecting his Vietnamese heritage and European experiences in his choreography.
