Dancing and teaching were always my passion and fortunately became my way of living that keeps high my motivation. As a teacher I want to give my dancers the tools to be the best they can, to help them succeed. I have built my own dance club 23 years ago, Alessia Dance Club, where I have raised many generations of good dancers, basic levels and open classes, dancers that competed both national and internationally. This also led me to become a judge for WDSF from 2013 and travel around the world to judge and also to give classes in training camps and workshops.
I strongly believe that good technique develops good artistic skills. I love to meet and work with new people of different ages and explore their unique potential. I am a very social and detail-oriented person, highly motivated and devoted to dance and art. I have the ability to teach using various methodologies from beginner to advanced level, engaging and motivating students to reach their goals. During my 23 years of my career. I have learnt that teaching multicultural people it’s a real opportunity that made me grow constantly.
