Simona

Simona has been involved in dancing since the age of five.

At the age of nine she was selected to become a member of the very prestigious Ballet Company of the Massimo Theater in South of Italy.

Simona performed for many choreographers such as Ugo Dell’Ara from La Scala in Milan to Isabelle Duick from Opera Theatre in Paris to Angela Abbigliati Opera of Roma.

After having spent time in Greece and Ireland Simona studied and performed with ex New York City Ballet dancer Alan Foyle in Cork city for the Firkancrain Theatre.

It was only after she went to South America to Buenos Aires that Simona discovered the tango also traveling around Brazil, gave Simona the opportunity to experience other Rhythms of latin music.

When Simona eventually moved to Australia she was approached by Australian Ballet  to teach and do summer stages in Albert Park for the International Australia Coaching School.

Simona was also approached by Spanish club in Melbourne and start performing again.

As one put it:

           “if you can imagine it, you can create it,

                   if you can dream it, you can become it”.

According to Simona:

“dance is all I can imagine and dream of”.
