3-day movement experience
to get out of your head and let your body reconnect you to your instinct.
23-24-25 October
3 PM UK · Live online
VIVA is what we say when we celebrate, but also in my native language, it means ALIVE.
This is a celebration of life in the way I know best: through dance.
What each day is designed for
Free for everyoneBackstage Pass only
Let the body lead before the mind has worked everything out. We'll stop trying to anticipate every movement and enjoy what our body is craving to say.
Backstage Pass only
3:45 PM UK
MELT THE ARMOUR
A short release session after the main class focused on hips, spine and shoulders. The specific goal is to release some of the tension and holding that makes movement feel stiff, awkward or overly controlled.
Grounding, feet, legs, strength, breath. What happens when something becomes difficult, and you don't immediately tense, panic, judge yourself or give up? Breath becomes the thing that lets you stay inside the experience.

CREATE MORE SPACE
A slower session focusing on:
feet and calveship flexorsribs and side bodythoracic spine
The specific goal is to create more room in the body after the stronger work. More room to breathe. More room to lengthen. More room to move without feeling compressed.
You'll learn a short choreography, but then it starts shaping around you. Change the arm. Change the timing. Repeat what feels good. Take something out. Add something. Eventually: what if it was fun to create again? Joy becomes a choice.
Backstage Pass only

BEFORE THE MIND WAKES UP
You’ll be guided through sensation, breath, music, shapes and instinct. Lymphatic drainage to allow the body to breathe and to let go of what it doesn’t need. After the previous session of creating space, we are now allowing ourselves to listen to our body and create movement that feels natural.

Is this for you?
Who this is for
You're an adult dancer and realised technique is not everything. You want to learn how to let your body go and express yourself with movement.
You're a movement teacher and you feel that your practices are not "yours" anymore. Constantly pleasing others and rarely yourself. You're looking to create sessions that are unique to you.
You're a disciplined adult dancer who loves rules and structure, but you're now ready to explore what your body wants to express and feel alive in it.
You've been striving for perfection in your adult ballet journey and want a taste of what happens when you let your body break the rules for once.
Why should you join?
A message from Alessia
I have spent way too long perfecting the rules, being the person who does it all right, worrying about what others think, and whether it's right to want to do something that is… out of the box. When my mind takes over, I feel pulled in too many directions, too many what-ifs and should-I-s. Too many questions, too many options make me freeze. I feel stuck.
There is something unique I've learned to do when I feel this way. I move. I let my body take over and tell me exactly the answer I need to hear. Letting my body lead the way has always got me unstuck, made me feel accomplished and alive.
The beautiful thing? All the answers to your questions are right within you. You just need to move and listen to what your body has known all along.
