What’s your name and where are you in the world?

I’m Valentina Sicari, I am Italian and I teach in London.

What kind of dance to you currently offer?

I currently offer Ballet, Contemporary and Modern Jazz.

What got you into dance? 

Since I was a little girl, I have had a passion for dance, movement and acting with a dream to become a dancer and actress. I started my journey in my own town, Sicily, where I trained in Ballet, Modern/Jazz, Contemporary, while also trying different styles such as Flamenco, Hip Hop, Salsa and Afro Dance.
 
I danced and acted also having leading roles in Theatre in my city.
 
From 2005 to 2008 I taught Jazz and Contemporary dance to kids and teenagers, also choreographing pieces for the final performance in Theatre.
 
In 2013 I moved to London to study English and train in the most prestigious dance studios in London, such as Pineapple Studios, The Place, and the Central School of Ballet. I performed in London with Zootrophic, worked at Secret Cinema and performed action roles within films.
 
In 2018 I moved to Paris to dance in Disneyland and in 2020 I specialised in Contemporary Dance at the Centre National de la Danse, obtaining the qualification of ‘Professeur de Danse’.
 
From 2020 to 2023 I taught Ballet, Modern and Contemporary Dance. While teaching I danced and acted in a few shows in my own town in Sicily, such as Turandot Opera, Scatola and Hello from Bertha.
 
I really love teaching dance and creating new choreographies and I believe that dance makes life more beautiful! 
My teaching technique emphasizes an understanding of the body, mind and movement with a positive and energetic vibe.
 
Now, I am back in London and enthusiastic to be starting a new chapter in my life teaching dance and also into more dance opportunities.
