THE DIRECTORS
Angie and Audrey are a married, queer, non-binary dance couple. Born and raised in the Caribbean, together they specialize in Afro-Latin dances. By uplifting Afro-rooted art forms and breaking the traditional binary roles in partner dance, they aim to represent, and inspire marginalized people who want to be leaders in inclusive and creative spaces.

They began their work together in Boston, MA in 2016 while teaching for Hyde Square Task Force (HSTF), where they touched the lives of hundreds of immigrants and inner city youth. At this art-based youth development organization, they helped direct El Barrio, a production on Boston gentrification, and Raíces, a compilation of folk stories originating from Indigenous and African culture in Latin America. Angie and Audrey also founded and led HSTF’s alumni salsa troupe, Oshun, where they choreographed Afro-Latin dance pieces and performed all over the greater Boston area. The couple also co-directed, choreographed, and performed in the original production Yo Soy Lola 2017 and 2018, a multimedia show that sought to rewrite the Latina narrative. Concurrently, Angie and Audrey also danced and coached at world-renowned Afro-Latin dance company Masacote until 2020. In early 2021, Angie and Audrey moved to Austin, TX to establish ORO Dance Company.

Together Angie and Audrey have performed and taught at several dance congresses across the U.S. and Canada. In 2022, they were featured on PBS’s Emmy-winning web series, If Cities Could Dance by KQEDArts.
