As dancers

… we think, question, challenge, push, experiment, explore, and investigate, immersing ourselves in the pleasure of movement and the power of its possibilities. 

Each summer, we gather as educators, artists, students, and performers from around the world to challenge ourselves, share ideas, and expand our skills amongst a rigorous, open, and inspiring network of artists.

“This experience as a whole has been priceless. I’m taking away many fond memories, newfound explorations of movement and many new friends.”

“I personally loved my experience at this program. There was a great variety of classes and techniques in which I’m not familiar with, so I was happy to not only dive my body, but also my mind into something new.”

“ … Overall, incredible experience. I am so fortunate to have been able to attend this program. I will definitely be recommending it to my friends! Thank you for everything!”

“... I have to say, Dance Italia was definitely one of the best experiences of my life. I feel like I have grown so much and with that seen so much more of where my growth can go and lead. I love Lucca completely. I know this will not be my last time in this beautiful city, whether I come to work, visit, dance, whatever. So thank you for this program, I am beyond happy that I decided to do this program.”

“I have truly enjoyed being a part of this amazing experience and I am extremely grateful for the attention, kindness, and sincerity of the program director and coordinators.”
