Maria started her studies of Ballet when she was 13 years old, in a professional school in Italy where she was taught the Vaganova Method. In the 2009, she won a scholarship for the National Dance Academy of Rome and in 2010, her talent for the art of ballet, was soon recognised by the international choreographer Luc Bouy that, after her successful audition, chose her as a member of the ballet company Dansepartout. Maria’s repertoire as a dancer, include The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, The Carnival of the Animals and The Turandot and many others, plus numerous collaborations with artists all around Italy. Maria stopped dancing in 2016 and, from that moment, she embarked the passion for teaching dance. For this reason, she moved to UK and she amplified her perception of dance and she discovered different approaches to the teaching methods, but without forgetting the strong classical schemes of Cecchetti and Vaganova.
