My name is Valentina and I love how dance brings people together.
Dance is my fuel and has always been a part of my life:Â from the age of 6, my training includes classical ballet, contemporary and modern dance, jazz, improv, and contact.
I discovered my passion for Contemporary dance in my teens while studying with Reginal Poitier, Joseph Fontano, and Annadora Scalone.
I promote dance as a way to explore creativity and achieve technical precision, while honoring the dancers' diverse backgrounds.
Since 2015, I have been teaching Floor-barre and Contemporary dance in Bologna.
In September 2021 I started teaching Floor-barre classes in Vienna, the 'Say Yes to Dancing' project to (re)-discover dance, and 'Dance with my Baby' classes, for caregivers and babies.
My training as a teacher includes a professional development program for teaching dance in public schools (CUSB Bologna - 2007), certification for educators in choreutic disciplines (Piedmont Region - 2019), and I am a Facilitator in danceAgain project (by Jess Grippo USA- 2023).
I am also a perpetual dance student, participating in many dance festivals.
