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.
