Giorgia has performed works by Serge Alzetta and Genevieve Blanchard, toured in Italy and France with AEDJ Group and Les Ballets Serge Alzetta. She then moved to New York City to train in the Scholarship Program at The Ailey School. At Ailey, she has had the opportunity to perform works by Jessica Castro; as a part of the Ailey Student Performance Group, works by Patrick Coker, Hollie Wright, Amy Hall Garner; and excerpts of Alvin Ailey’s Repertory. She completed her studies at Ailey in May 2022. She is currently dancing in New York with Hanna Q Dance Company, Benjamin Briones Ballet and Salvatore Larussa Dance Theater.
She discovered her passion for teaching in Italy when she started assisting and teaching creative movement, ballet and jazz classes to students of every age; when in France she received the EAT diploma and AEDJ diploma, which qualify her as a jazz teacher. In New York City, she fell in love with the Horton Technique so she decided to dive deep into it with the Lester Horton teacher training. She is now teaching in New York City and she is honored to join the Dance Matters NYC team.
