So Danca in Motion Australia

Só Dança in Motion Australia brings dancers together for two days of intensive classical ballet training, pointe, repertoire and contemporary technique at Rogerson College of Classical & Contemporary Dance in Sydney, 14–15 November 2026.

Led by two internationally recognised artists, this workshop offers dancers the opportunity to develop their technique, artistry and performance skills in a focused training environment.

Claudia Zaccari is the former Prima Ballerina of the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma and Director of the Classical Ballet Department at Opus Ballet in Florence. With an extensive international performance career, Claudia brings a wealth of experience as a teacher, choreographer and mentor.

Joining Claudia is Juliet Doherty, an internationally recognised dancer, actress, teacher and choreographer. With classical training at San Francisco Ballet School and a diverse career across stage, film, teaching and coaching, Juliet brings a unique perspective to the development of young dancers.

Across the weekend, dancers will participate in Classical Ballet, Pointe, Classical Repertoire and Contemporary Technique, with both Claudia and Juliet teaching across the two training levels.

LEVEL 1 — JUNIOR / INTERMEDIATE

LEVEL 2 — SENIOR / ADVANCED
