Francesca trained and graduated from Middlesex University with a BA Hons in Dance Studies. Her degree specialised in contemporary choreography and technique along with contemporary dance history. Francesca trained professionally in the fundamental contemporary techniques; Graham, Cunningham, Release and Humphrey technique. She also has training in Tai Chi, Yoga and Ballet. Upon graduating, her choreography has been shown in London theatres and galleries around the UK, as well as working with local artists, film directors, events managers and choreographers.

Francesca started her teaching career in 2014, freelancing as a dance teacher around East Sussex, UK and Northern Italy. Her experience in dance then led her to teach GCSE Dance in local independent schools, where her pupils have 100% pass rate. In 2020, Francesca trained with the UK’s leading contemporary dance company Rambert and is now qualified to teach Rambert Contemporary Grades 1-8 (Hofesh strand). In addition, she also holds teaching qualifications in Progressing Ballet & Contemporary Technique as well as being a certified Acrobatic Arts Preschool and Level 1-6 teacher. Her teaching has allowed students to further their career in dance, with past pupils gaining places at Italia Conti, Laban, The Place, London Contemporary Dance School and a number of dance universities. Francesca’s style of teaching is heavily influenced by her knowledge on Hofesh and Graham technique.

Most recently Francesca was invited to attend ‘East Sussex Woman of the Year’ for her efforts in supporting the younger generation’s mental wellbeing.
