About Gia…
Gia Mongell made her Broadway debut shortly after graduating from The Juilliard School. As an original (and the youngest) cast member of An American in Paris, Gia performed Christopher Wheeldon’s Tony Award-winning choreography at The Palace Theatre as well as on the 69th Annual Tony Awards, serving as a swing and assistant dance captain across the run of the show. She was later invited to join the US National Tour and the show’s final run at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, France. New York theatre credits include I Married an Angel at City Center Encores! (choreographed by Josh Bergasse), Cendrillon at The Metropolitan Opera, and roles in concert pieces by Twyla Tharp, Pina Bausch, and Nacho Duato while at Juilliard. Gia also appeared in Misty Copeland’s commercial campaign for Under Armor and the premiere party for the 20th Century Fox feature film Deadpool.
Originally from John’s Creek, Georgia, Gia grew up studying under Jonnie Kelley at the Atlanta Dance Theater. Upon graduating with her BFA in dance from Juilliard, she was awarded the prestigious Joseph W. Polisi Prize for exemplifying an “Artist as Citizen.” Giving back to the next generation of dancers, Gia serves on the dance faculties of Lincoln Center Education’s Middle School Arts Bootcamp and NHouse Productions/Commercial Dance Intensive. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Dance from Hunter College.
