Mateo Vidals grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and began dancing at the age of six under the direction of Shannon Hummel, Artistic Director of Cora Dance. After years of enjoying dance recreationally, Mateo decided to invest himself more seriously, attending Fort Hamilton High School as a Dance Major and later enrolling at SUNY Purchase as a Dance Major in 2020. Mateo has worked alongside widely recognized choreographers such as Andrea Miller, Norbert De La Cruz, Doug Varone, Gregory Dolbashian, Greg Lau, Earl Mosley, Darrell Moultrie, Jie-hung Connie, Jesse Obremski, and Antonio Brown. He has trained at several institutions such as Cora Dance, Paul Taylor American Modern Dance, and The Joffrey Ballet Academy. Mateo graduated from SUNY Purchase in 2024 with a BFA in dance performance and composition.
