My Vision
I've had the chance to not have only teachers but real mentors who pushed me further every day in the studio, taking the time to get to know me and understand where I wanted to go.
This is the reason why I feel that being a teacher is so much more than simply teaching a technique or a dance combination.
It's a real commitment.
It's about transmitting,communicating,sharing but also listening and understanding.
This is my vision and my personal goal as a teacher.
I always thought you can see a good teacher from his work inside the studio but even more outside.
I hope to have the chance to give back what I received as a student which completely changed my life.
MY CLASS
-
English Version
«Every movement has its rhythm, therefore it is the hidden soul of the movement.
Music has the ability to touch ours inner rhythm and conditioning our emotionality.
Dance is music, how music is dance.
To dance you need to learn to understand the signals that the music emits so as to adapt to them their movements
in a universal language. "
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The class start with a warming up mainly on the floor focusing on the weight
of the head which gives directions and shape movement.
I continue with some technical exercises to develop
the way we use the weight of our body in space .
In this constant game of holding and releasing the muscles,we learn how to use the center paying a particular attention to the support of the abdominal fascia.
This lead to a serie of diagonales where we push further the dynamics traveling even more in space and working also on our stamina condition.
In the last part of the class,we work on choreographic material. Through improvisation exercises
we focus on developing a personal
choreographic vocabulary.

Versione in Italiano
«Ogni movimento ha il suo ritmo,
pertanto esso è l'anima nascosta del movimento. La musica ha la capacità di toccare il nostro ritmo interiore e condizionarne la nostra emotività.
La danza è musica ,come la musica e’danza.
Per danzare è necessario imparare a comprendere i segnali che la musica emette così da adeguare ad essi i propri movimenti dando voce cosi ad un linguaggio universale.»

La classe comincia con un primo riscaldamento al suolo risvegliando progressivamente le articolazioni del corpo.
Ci si concentra prevalentemente sull’uso del peso della testa introducendo l’importanza delle direzioni nello spazio e la dinamica del movimento.
Si continua con un seguirsi di esercizi tecnici per potenziare il centro del corpo, proseguendo l’analisi del peso delle singole articolazioni.
E’ un gioco costante tra tenuta e rilascio che ci permettera’ di sviluppare il controllo della fascia addominale e l’uso dello spazio circostante.
Attraverso alcuni esercizi a coppia o di gruppo si introduce un primo lavoro di contact e partnering dove ancora una volta la consapevolezza del nostro corpo e’ essenziale.
L’ultima sessione e’ rivolta a un laboratorio coreografico e la creazione attraverso esercizi di improvvisazione
di un proprio linguaggio personale .
