Renaissance Dances

Renaissance dances are court dances from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries reconstructed from the earliest manuscripts in dance history. Dances of the nineteenth century are also available upon request.

Propaedeutic

The term "propaedeutic" means to instruct first. The purpose of propaedeutics is to provide the child, in a playful form, with the technical, expressive, rhythmic and musical elements that will later become DANCE.

Pre Academic

It aims to prepare the student's body for the study of the choreographic discipline and its dynamics, to educate him or her in rhythm and to help them develop their own artistic awareness.

Classical Academic

Through a program that takes into account the physical and mental development of the student, the study of technique and step progression takes place.

Modern

Lessons in which expressiveness and fluidity are given free rein without ever disregarding the patterns of classical technique always underlying movement and lines that soften or harden in relation to musicality.

Contemporary

It is the true "deconstruction" of academic dance by returning it to its "degree zero" in which the forms of action arise from the collective inspiration of the group and each performer collaborates in the common work.

Hip Hop

From the street, in the street, on the street. Hip Hop as a cultural movement, as a trend, as a way of thinking. Not just a dance, but a suburban culture that still influences from fashion to verbal language. Maintaining the Roots to evolve in daily life.

Horton

This technique is called "architectural" in that it focuses on joint mobility, concept of off-axis, throw, trial and swing, and the expressive use of spinal flexion and extension. Every single part of the body is stretched to its limit, a technique that can correct physical defects and prepare a dancer for any dance style he or she wishes to follow.

Pilates

Training system that focuses on postural muscles. Exercises are very important to help relieve and prevent back pain.

Oriental Dances

No person, no machine can correct or create vitality, energy and health. Everything comes from within. You just have to get it out. Joseph Pilates

Pointe and Classical Repertoire

Street Jazz

modern dance with its technique and musicality complements urban dances in a more dynamic and strong style.

Floor Work

technique refers to movements performed on the floor in which the dancer must "step in and out of the floor" as smoothly as possible. The dancer must surrender weight to the ground and at the same time take strength and momentum from the ground to get back up.

Kempo Dankan

It is an ancient no-contact gymnastic-martial discipline. It is inspired by various technical and cultural elements proper to ancient Chinese and Indian traditions, adapted to the needs of the modern spirit with the fascinating result of a new gymnastic-philosophical and educational project.
