House workshop with Valentina Dragotta!<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Valentina Dragotta is an Italian dancer, choreographer and teacher based in Paris for the past 10 years. She began her journey in Hip-Hop dance and culture in 2005 in a small village in the province of Turin, Italy. She quickly discovered House Dance, her main style, and later began exploring Waacking as well. Deeply connected to club culture, she draws inspiration for her dance from the energy and history of clubs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highly active on the Italian underground scene, Valentina participates in both dance battles and choreographic competitions. In 2016, she moved to Paris to turn her passion into a profession. In 2017, she joined the group Paradox-Sal Crew, created and choreographed by Ousmane Sy Babson, with whom she performs on major stages in France and internationally for the productions Queen Blood, One Shot, and Woman, currently in development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Paris, she studied and worked with high-level dancers. She continues to participate in international battles. Since 2023, she travels to New York every year to study with pioneers of house dance and immerse herself in the club scene that originated this culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
