About me
I'm Annagiulia Loffi and I have been dancing since I was a child in [city]. I'm currently studying at the Royal Academy of Dance in London, one of the world's leading institutions for training dance teachers, and will graduate in September 2027. I already hold RAD teaching certifications.
Alongside classical technique I practise contemporary dance: two languages that enrich each other. In my classes the precision of the method goes hand in hand with musicality, expression and the simple joy of moving, at any age.

Classes
Small classes, so every student gets real attention.
A first encounter with dance: music, coordination and imagination, through the RAD programmes for young children.
Classical technique following the official syllabus, from the Graded to the Vocational levels, with the option of taking RAD exams.
Floor work, weight, breath and improvisation: a free language for exploring movement and creativity.
Classes for returners and complete beginners, plus one-to-one lessons to prepare for exams, auditions or solos.
The RAD method
Founded in London in 1920, the Royal Academy of Dance is one of the world's largest dance education organisations. Its syllabus guides students through a clear progression, built to develop technique, musicality and confidence safely and gradually.
Exams are optional, assessed by RAD examiners, and certify progress with an internationally recognised award.

Ask a questionPre-ballet starts from age [4]; RAD Graded classes usually begin around [6–7]. There is no upper limit: there are classes for adult beginners too.
Comfortable, close-fitting clothes (a leotard, or a T-shirt and leggings), socks or ballet slippers if you have them, and hair tied back. I'll advise on uniform after the trial.
No, they are optional. Students who wish to can prepare during the year: exams are assessed by a Royal Academy of Dance examiner and lead to an internationally recognised award.
For younger students I recommend starting with ballet, which builds the technical foundation, then adding contemporary to develop freedom and expression. Adults can start with either.
