Atelier de mouvement

Born in Turin, Alessandra Polselli began studying classical dance at the age of three. She trained at the Bella Hutter and Susanna Egri schools and later at the Accademia del Teatro Nuovo in Turin, where she completed a five-year dance program and graduated as a professional dancer.

During her training, she explored various approaches to classical technique, including the Cuban method, and attended workshops at the Bolshoi School and in St. Petersburg, where she was accepted into the Vaganova Academy. She participated in the international competitions in Lausanne and Rieti and, in 1990, received the Young Talents Award as part of Vignale Danza.

Her artistic career began at a very young age at the Teatro Regio in Turin, with *Don Giovanni*, and includes, among other experiences, her participation as a dancer in the Opening Ceremony of the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics, in the “Futurism” segment alongside Roberto Bolle.

From 2008 to 2019, she served as Artistic Director of the classical and contemporary dance program at the Mamadanse school in Turin, dedicating herself to training young dancers and guiding several students through national and international competitions and auditions at professional academies.

Over the years, she has complemented her dance experience with training focused on understanding the body, earning various diplomas and certifications, including that of Sports Massage Therapist. This in-depth study arose from the need to integrate an increasingly informed understanding of anatomy, movement, and bodily changes into her teaching.

After many years of teaching, she gradually shifted her focus toward the adult body and its evolution, developing her work in Adapted Classical Dance (DCA): an approach that preserves the principles and rigor of classical technique while adapting them to the characteristics, pace, and capabilities of the adult body. Dance thus becomes not only a discipline and technique but also a tool for self-awareness, expressive freedom, and self-rediscovery.

From this vision, in September 2025 she founded Creazione Danza g.a.p. ASD: a dance and wellness school for women that she founded and directs, designed for the adult body and dedicated to women over 40.

Gabriella Gallo trained in classical and jazz dance and built her artistic career primarily in Rome, working as a soloist and principal dancer in major television and theater productions.

Throughout her professional career, she has combined her work as a dancer with that of a choreographer and assistant director, creating stage movements and choreography for Italian television programs, including *La Vita in Diretta* and *Lo Show dei Record*, as well as for the opening sequences of hit TV dramas such as *I Cesaroni* and *Un medico in famiglia*.

In the theater, she collaborated on major productions alongside Maestro Gino Landi, solidifying a professional path that intertwines dance, choreography, and stage work.

Today, she dedicates her expertise to training and teaching Modern Jazz technique, bringing to her teaching the wealth of experience she has gained over the years in both television and theater. For several years now, she has also devoted a significant portion of her work to adult women, developing a teaching approach that is attentive to the characteristics, capabilities, and expressiveness of the body at different stages of life.

This journey has led her to share a vision of dance in which technique, quality of movement, and expression are not limited to a specific age but can continue to evolve in the adult body.

Fabio Bellitti, born in Turin, was introduced to dance while attending the school of the Il Gabbiano dance company. He honed his skills through workshops led by masters such as Max Luna III, Fabrizio Monteverde, Vittorio Biagi, Gigi Caciuleanu, Loris Petrillo, and Pedro Berdäyes. He has collaborated, among others, with the Balletto Teatro di Torino, directed by Loredana Furno, and with Susanna Egri’s EgriBiancoDanza, participating in tours in Italy and abroad. He has also collaborated extensively with major national opera houses, including La Scala in Milan, the Teatro Regio in Turin, the Teatro Carlo Felice in Genoa, the Teatro Lirico in Cagliari, and the Teatro La Fenice in Venice. He took part in the production *Ubu Roi* by the Compagnia Fortebraccio, directed by Roberto Latini, which was nominated for the Ubu Prize in 2012. From 2005 to 2018, he was part of the cast of *La Traviata*, directed by Robert Carsen, at the Gran Teatro La Fenice in Venice, as a dancer. In 2006, he joined the altREtracce company, with which he took part in numerous productions directed by Antonio Latella for the Teatro Stabile dell’Umbria and the Teatro Stabile Emilia-Romagna. She also collaborates with Daniel Marini on RAI productions and with Deda Cristina Colonna for the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino (2017). In 2018, she participated in the Festwochen der Alten Musik in Innsbruck. In 2018, she appeared in the RAI commercial for the Rome Film Festival, directed by Daniel Marini. In 2020, she appeared in the RAI commercial dedicated to the centennial of Federico Fellini’s birth, also directed by Daniel Marini.

He currently teaches modern dance and, in 2023, earned the international Romana’s Pilates certification, one of the most authoritative training programs in the classical Pilates method. Alongside his teaching work, he pursues his own artistic exploration as a painter, developing a personal style centered on the human figure and portraiture, with particular attention to the intensity of the gaze and the emotional dimension of the image.
