Gabriela Granados brings an authenticity, enthusiasm and versatility to her dancing, choreography and her dance company.

Gabriela Granados started her dance training at the age of four, studying a wide range of classical and regional Spanish dances as well as Flamenco, classical Ballet and Latin American folklore. In 1985, her professional studies took her to Spain, where she performed in three of Madrid's most famous Tablaos Flamencos: Los Canasteros, Las Brujas and Zambra. She has also performed in full-length ballets such as: The Nutcracker, Giselle, Les Sylphides, Carmen, and Pugni's Grand Pas de Quatre, among others.

Ms. Granados has been in the faculty of the Neubert Ballet Institute for over a decade, an artist in residence at LaGuardia High School of Music, Art & the Performing Arts, in the faculty of Broadway Dance Center, a freelance teacher at Fazil's Times Circle Rehearsal Studios, and a guest teacher and lecturer for the Dance Department of New York University and Barnard College.

Her choreographic credits include the creation of Spanish dances for Ballet Municipal de Lima, Cuadro Flamenco for Pancho Villa in New York, La Traviata for Virginia Opera, Carmen for Orlando Opera, La Vida Breve for DiCapo Opera Theatre, El Amor Brujo for Wesleyan University Ensemble of the Americas, Goyescas and La Vida Breve for Bronx Symphony and numerous dances for American Bolero Dance Company, which she founded in 1996 to present other aspects of Spanish music and dance, besides Flamenco.

Her work for the company encompasses classical and folkloric Spanish dances, 18th Century Bolero, Zarzuela and Flamenco. As Artistic Director, dancer and choreographer of ABDC, Ms. Granados has successfully presented her productions in New York City, the Mid-Atlantic States and Athens, Greece, and was also invited to perform at Carnegie Hall with the Orchestra of St. Luke's. The New York Times describes Granados' signature production Olé! Olé! as "exuberant and stylish," and her solo work as "stunning...a tour de force."
