After years of training in Europe with prestigious names known in the worldwide dance scene, and after winning 2 scholarships for the prestigious choreographic centres of Music Arts & Show in Milan and Opus Ballet in Florence where she trained in Ballet and Contemporary dance, Deana graduated with a BA from STAMMS (Science and Technologies of Performing Arts, Music, Cinema and Entertainment). 

Afterwards she moves to London UK to enrich her knowledge and expand her career as a professional dancer.

Here she dances in renowned dance companies and is lucky enough to travel around England and Scotland with their shows.

​

With over 12 years teaching experience in Street Dance, Contemporary, Ballet, Yoga, Barre/Fitness and Chair Dance, Deana has gained experience of working with students from the age of 3 up to 80 years old, teaching all levels from very beginners to advanced.

​

This extensive background has given Deana the experience as well as a unique ability to fully foresee the needs of schools and students alike. 

​

She founds Dance&Arts in UK with the aim of bringing some of the most beautiful performing and artistic disciplines right there in the classrooms, where children and teenagers spend most of their time daily.

WHY

​

D&A wants to be of help on 4 fronts:

- FOR SCHOOLS: We partner with schools to enrich their students' educational experience through engaging activities and programs! Science confirms that ongoing physical exercise is essential not only for motor development but also for psychological and behavioral growth. 

Artistic disciplines are especially valuable for children's education because they combine artistic expression with movement and emotional engagement. Every step and improvement teaches children to trust themselves and others, manage anxiety, and balance their energy and emotions.

​

​

FOR FAMILIES: School hours often do not align with work schedules, leaving parents with tough decisions. Our pre-school and after-school activities, held at schools or nearby, provide peace of mind for parents, ensuring their children spend this time in a beneficial and constructive way that supports their growth and development.

​

​

FOR KIDS: The incredible and countless benefits of performing arts, as well as yoga and gymnastics, on kids are well known today. The sooner a child understands their passion, the sooner they can develop it—whether it becomes a career or a hobby. By taking part in our clubs at their own school, they will gain first-hand experience in various disciplines. They may discover hidden talents and gain insight into what it means to rehearse for a performance.

​

​

FOR ARTISTS:

Our aim is to provide dancers, singers, and actors with the opportunity to keep working in their artistic field, doing what they love, teaching their craft, and sharing their talent, all while continuing to perform. We ensure that our teachers are highly talented, qualified, professional, and DBS checked, giving parents peace of mind.

​

​

Upon request, we organize wonderful end-of-year shows in primary and secondary schools for the groups that have participated in our courses throughout the year, showcasing the skills they have developed.
