​Angelina (Angie) Benitez graduated Salem State University with a B.A in both Modern/Contemporary Dance and Spanish World, Language, and Culture. At Salem State she worked as a Dance Program Associate for the dance department as well as helped produced semi-annual shows for the student organization, Repertory Dance Theatre. 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. She has recently enjoyed working as the Administrative Fellow at Bates Dance Festival. When Angie isn’t pursuing Arts Administration, she teaches dance locally and presents her collaborations throughout the Greater Boston area at events including, Salem Arts Festival, Dancing Queerly, Mind the Gap, Tiny & Short: A Drop in the Bucket, and OnStage360°.

Angie will be interning with PDM this fall, primarily focusing on the coordination of our annual holiday production, Gumdrops and the Funny Uncle (dates to be announced soon)!
