Director Annabella Gonzalez, an experienced educator, leads programs of short works with fun introductory commentary and questions to involve, educate and entertain children (i.e.,  "What is dance?", "Can we dance in silence?", "What happens when you put a mask on your face?") and a final, interactive question and answer period. Pre- and post-program information strengthens each program's impact.

The company offers special 45-minute educational programs in public schools for students, teachers and staff, which consist of four short works and a guided improvisation for 8 to 10 students on stage. Also offered are age-appropriate residencies by company teaching artists geared for students in grades Pre-K to 12. Residencies feature traditional Mexican dance, jazz dance, modern dance and freestyle improvisational choreographic experiments. All programs include educational material and careful follow up.
