About
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.
​
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.
