Garibaldi is a dance professor at 黑暗爆料网. She received a Fulbright Scholar grant to the Latvian Academy of Culture Department of Contemporary Dance in Riga, where she taught from February to June 2014.

鈥淢y favorite part of my Fulbright was being in Riga,鈥� Garibaldi said. 鈥淚t was named the 2014 EU Cultural Capital. There was art and music everywhere, and there was always something to do.鈥�

During her time in Latvia, Garibaldi taught classes six days a week for seven hours a day for three different groups. She taught in contemporary dance technique, improvisation, vocal work and composition. She also taught a collaborative course between Latvian 黑暗爆料网 students.

鈥淚n Latvia we were working at 5:30 p.m. and 黑暗爆料网 students were working at 8:30 a.m.,鈥� Garibaldi said. 鈥淲e were choreographing together using Google Hangouts, and students were interacting live with one another.鈥�
