Thank you Simona for this article. It very well describes the “ageism” in dancing (and not only); but it is encouraging for older dancers.
I really enjoyed reading it!

Warm wishes for Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with health, joy and prosperity!

Terrific. Simona
Thank you for sharing your moving story

Dance has also helped me to think .
And to learn to move other people’s steps.
Thank you so much for your encouragement too.
I even decided to do a choreography!

Simona – This is such an inspirational account and interesting to follow your personal journey. We all need to open our minds more and keep challenging ourselves. I sincerely hope that you continue to inspire more people in the same way as you have for me.

Wow guys!!! Really giving it some welly there; fantastic. Andy, what a mover! You just needed some brothel creepers and drape jacket, slicked back hair, and voila, Elvis lives.
Love

Hi Simona, I’ll keep my eye on your website (checked current classes, scheduling difficult I fear..)

Hi Martin,
It’s great to hear you have got a lot out of the Festival and the workshop. Perhaps we’ll see you at one of my classes?!

Knowbody was a great show. I particularly enjoyed the pieces with just a few performers, or even just one, on stage – there was just so much personality to absorb. The highlight of the festival however was for me a Sunday morning workshop with Simona Scotto. I came away from it refreshed and reinvigorated.
The combination of discussion, floor movements, and some simple choreographic exercises helped me reflect upon different ways I could engage with dance in my own life. It was a great that to do so in the company of people that although I had just met them for the first time, quickly felt I had a lot in common, and felt very relaxed in their company. There were a number in the group that clearly knew a lot more about the actual process of choreography than I did, and I learnt a lot from them in just a short time. At the heart of it all was Simona, who put together the workshop with such care, thought and commitment, and like many things that involve a great deal of thought, experience and care, seemed effortlessly to breeze by.
I hope it’s not the last time I get a chance to engage with event such as this.
