Alessia & Iacopo

I was born in Verona, Italy and trained at the New Zealand School of Dance and English National Ballet School. I lived in Hobbit Town (Wellington – NZ) for 7 years, where I had the pleasure to perform with the Royal New Zealand Ballet for Hobbits, Elves and Gandalf the Grey himself!

Have I introduced you to Iacopo yet?

He’s my Lazy Dancer Studio co-founder and partner in life and love. Lucky me!

Iacopo’s a visual storyteller (ask him about what it’s like to fly in spaceships). With his background in photography and VFX, he takes care of all the technical aspects of the Lazy Dancer Studio from filming and editing videos at exactly the right angles to gorgeous photography. When you watch his top-knotch Lazy Dancer videos from your living room or office, you won’t be able to help yourself - you’ll start moving right away.

That’s right. You’ll dance. And then, you’ll feel good about yourself and your body.

I believe that anyone, at anytime, can start ballet in a friendly, welcoming environment - like what you find at the Lazy Dancer Studio.

Ballet is a Way of Life

Ballet teaches you so much more than how to do a graceful arabesque - although who doesn't want to be able to do a graceful arabesque?

Ballet teaches you how to set and reach your goals so that you get the most out of your life.

Getting the most out of life is why Iacopo and I started our online Lazy Dancer Studio.

We struggled to rent a studio space in London so that I could teach ballet my way - in a warm, big-Italian-family-like environment for ballet dancers of all ages and abilities. We were frustrated and disappointed at how difficult it was to find an affordable and attractive space. We talked about buying a studio (ouch!) and Iacopo said, you’re nuts.

And he was right. We were nuts.

Nuts about sharing our happy, friendly dance method to the world.

Nuts to not give up.

Nuts to take our studio online instead.

And now this corner of our living room is our very own dance studio, as well as yours.

Are you nuts enough to join our online ballet studio and dance wherever you please?

Join the Lazy Dancer Family.

Let’s introduce the rest of the Team

Hi, I’m Sabrina Giacardi! Graphic Designer & Digital Expert

I'm one of the members of this amazing team! I like to present myself as a "multipotentialite". Adept at visual strategy and brand identity with a hands-on approach to the entire creative process, I combine words with images, both still and moving. Hopping between web spaces, from Social media to Web pages, I help to keep the message clear and consistent in all the interconnected areas of the Lazy Dancer Tips' world.

P.S. The cats want an introduction too.

Lazy Dancer Tips Team Member - Watson

Watson

I’m from Greece. Evina, from CatCuddles rescued me. (Thank you, Evina!) I found the best home! Iacopo and Alessia are lovely. Unfortunately our beloved Watson left us in 2020 due to a heart condition we discovered by chance. Our hearts were broken but knowing that he spent his life playing, eating and destroying our house make us feel a bit better.

Lazy Dancer Tips Team Member - Margot

Margot

I’m the queen of the show but I mind my own business. I like to supervise from the other room. Or sleep. Or gracefully rub against things that need some fur. Wait! Is that food? Thanks Celia for rescuing me and finding me such a lovely family.

Lazy Dancer Tips - Lupin

Lupin

Our dear Lupin has left us. He was the main star of the show, often in the frame. He was scared of his own tail but he loved belly rubs. Thanks Celia for rescuing him and letting him join our family. You're always in our hearts, Lupin. 

Murphy

I was found under a car, all sick and lonely. These suckers picked me up and now I’m the king of the house. I can’t complain really.
