Roberta was born and raised in Milan, Italy and started ballet at the age of 5. At the age of 17 she approached Street Dance and Jazz, winning a summer scholarship for Vignale Danza in 2002. In 2005 she moved to London where she developed a passion for Salsa. She trained in Cuban and Porto Rican styles first and then fell in love with New York style. She attended numerous workshops and masterclasses with some of the best NY dancers. Alongside her salsa training, Roberta continued her ballet and contemporary dance studies and in 2009 obtained a Certificate in Performing Arts and Contemporary Dance at the Birkbeck University. With the influence of her younger sister, professional tango dancer Caterina, Roberta took up Tango studies, while still teaching salsa in different venues in and around London. In the latest years Roberta has continued to train in ballet while returning to teach Salsa. She has recently obtained her ISTD Intermediate Ballet Qualification. Her extensive training, eclectic taste in music and interest in different dance genres make her a versatile and enthusiastic teacher.
