About

Growing up in Italy, as a child, I loved to move and dance.

At the age of 18 I moved abroad for several years to pursue dance, passing from the London Contemporary School to the The Alvin Ailey American Dance Center and  the Trisha Brown School among others, I fell in love with New York City and it was here where parallel to my official dance training , in 1991, I met and learned from Juliu Horvath, a mentor and a friend, next to whom and thanks to whom a new journey of guided explorations into the art of Exercising/Moving began. It was at the White Cloud Studios, those years home of the currently known Gyrotonic Expansion System, where I also began teaching this method, that to this day I dedicated my life to.

As a dancer, I performed and choreographed for Rituals, a Nyc based Dance Company founded by Nathan Trice, another special colleague and friend,  I was later invited to dance for Complexions Contemporary Ballet. The following  years an unstoppable quest brought me to Butho and I learned and performed for Maureen Fleming.

Still in NYC, I had several opportunities to present my work at a variety of different venues. I immensely rejoices in the practice of dance composition. However my focus for over 2 decades, was learning, teaching and sharing my discoveries , next to Juliu , as one of his assistants, while making educational videos and traveling to several countries worldwide, spreading awareness about the body’ s potential reached thanks to the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis approaches.

Despite my inner dances never really paused all these years, in 2016 it all came full circles. I created a specialized continuing education course known with the name of “An Exotic Gyrokinesis Journey at the Ballet Barre”.

A year later, following my dancing urge and having had extensive exposure to this approach called Gaga, I moved with my family to Tel Aviv to be part of a Gaga One Year intensive Program with Ohad Naharin and senior teachers. My experiences with the Gaga Language approach were intriguing enough to feel I wanted to pursue it a little further.

I am now dedicated to share all offerings that are part of the Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis Teachers Trainings Curriculum, basically all courses available, including of course my special dancers course, which is open to certified trainers for Gyrokinesis who wish to extend their experience with it towards an approach that is specifically designed to meet their needs if they like dancing, but not strictly only open to professional dancers, because we all can dance.

I am filled with gratitude and reverence for my extended, amazing, multicultural and above all artistic family, the places, the teachers and the friends that have taken part in shaping this all along the way.

Today I offer open classes, teacher training courses, meetings and retreats in The Gyrotonic Expansion System. I love to sculpt, paint and sing. I have a family and a pet that share with me life under the spell of “ Let’s dance”.
