Hi, I'm Laura dancer, teacher, and founder of BBL, where movement, strength and confidence come together in a welcoming community. Born in Padova, Italy, I started dancing at the age of 8 years old.

From 1991-2003 I continued my studies and received my diploma Advanced 2 from the Royal Academy of Dance becoming ARAD.

 

I received a scholarship to study at Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance in London where I graduated as a professional dancer in 2004.

 

Shortly after my graduation I worked with English National Ballet and successively with Vienna Festival Ballet.

 

In 2009 I graduated as a Ballet teacher from the Royal Academy of Dance London receiving the ARAD CBTS RTS status. 

​

I’ve also worked for the Royal Academy of Dance as a Mentor for their Certificate in Ballet and Teaching Studies. 

To further my education I completed the Progressing Ballet Technique teacher course (PBT).

​

After my maternity I fell in love with barre classes and decided to become an instructor. 

I completed my Barre Instructor training course at Barreworks London, the original pioneers of Barre Fitness in the UK (now The Barre Collective) followed by the Pre and Postnatal Certification. 

I have been a qualified instructor since 2020, sharing my passion for movement, strength, and wellbeing with every class. 

​

In May 22 I became a Silver Swans Licensee (Royal Academy of Dance) and I am now able to offer ballet classes for older learners.

​

In November 24 I became a Certified Menopause Movement Coach, I am passionate about helping midlife women feeling strong, informed, and supported through this life phase.

​

All this training, taught me that strength, alignment and mindful movement. matter at every age, which is why I'm passionate about movement. 

​

Opening BBL Studio in 2026 has been one of the highlights of my career, finally having a dedicated space for all our classes has made it possible to bring my vision to life and create a welcoming home for our community.
