Gastrell Rossignol
Dance Teaching Artist
G began formal dance training in folkloric dance, zouk, and compas at the age of 9. He was born in Orange City, N.J. but spent his childhood traveling from state to state as well to Haiti (his parents hometown) due to his Mom’s work. A major part of his dancing education happened during his visits to Haiti. He went on to learn the Afro-Brazilian martial art known as Capoeira, Latin dances bachata, salsa and merengue, and urban dances such as hip-hop and break dance, landing him his street name, “G.”
An avid supporter of youth dance programming, G taught in many schools around the Boston areas with Hyde Square Task Force Dance Youth program and Sinha Capoeira After School programs. Before joining Masacote, G was a Latin dance instructor for 3.5 years with Salsa Matei Company.
G believes in spreading the art of dance to give people a means of expression and to bring joy into their hearts and to those around them.
He has BS degrees in Psychology and Business Management. He is currently the director of Masacote Dance Company, located in Cambridge Mass.
