About Me
I am a commercial street dancer, living in London, where I've built a reputation for daring and original work in dance, choreography, teaching and modelling.

I began dancing aged 14 in Rome, Italy. Three years later I continued my study and exploration of dance during a year at The Metropolitan Arts Institute in Phoenix, Arizona (USA). At this point I was totally hooked: dance was now way more than something I did on my spare time. It had gone from being something I did to who I was.


In 2008 I moved to London, and have been dancing professionally ever since. Highlights of my career have included dancing for companies like Xbox, T-Mobile and Dolce & Gabbana, and with artists like Aggros Santos and Kimberley Walsh (Girls Aloud). In 2010, I joined "Impact Dance" - Hakeem Onibudo's Hip Hop Theatre company - and have performed with them at the Sadler's Wells and the Peacock Theatre. I recently completed touring Europe as a backing dancer for original and wacky artist Ebony Bones.

I regularly teach street dance classes at Westminster University, where I created and manage the university Dance Society, a real passion that has enabled me to establish myself more as a choreographer as well as a performer. I'm an experienced street dance instructor for both children and adults, with experience in a wide variety of settings from kids parties to adult education to street dance in old age homes! I also hold a number of private one-to-one lessons. If you are interested please get in touch. I have a friendly and professional attitude and absolutely love what I do.

CRB Checked, I have Liability Insurance I'm an Equity Member.

Andrea loves to dance and brings his passion for the art form wherever he goes...infectious.


Andrea is truly passionate about dancing, and he has the ability to share his passion with his students. Not only his classes are productive in terms of learning new moves and technique, but they are fun and inspirational as well. When you see someone who really loves his job, you just can't help joining the dance. What more... he is a great teacher. I've been fond of classical dancing for 10+ years before I tried hip-hop. It was like learning to walk again for me, but Andrea was very encouraging and patient. So whatever your background or level of experience is, don't be afraid to give it a go.


I highly recommend Andrea as a Choreographer/Dancer having had the pleasure of working with him and my artists on several occasions, he has always delivered a first class service, made them feel comfortable which is important especially to new artists, Andrea is not only talented but reliable, punctual, flexible and worth every penny he is always my first call.


Punctual, professional, great dancer, highly recommended.


The first time I saw Andrea was when we all met up before the very first hip hop class in university. It was obvious that the guy was so looking forward to teaching. He got to know the names of the people who showed up for the class, asked what kind of dancing we were used to, where we all came from, etc. etc. The first impression he made on us was we were going to be taught by an incredibly enthusiastic, outgoing and truly professional coach. And we were never proved wrong. He gave us an 'ideal' to work to and encouraged us to do our best. And people did their best, every single time, simply because they were so motivated.
Andrea never made his class into a contest and never divided the group into winners and losers, Any level, interest, style, anyone's particular craving for a music track - was taken into account and I felt like it was a great place to be at. I truly enjoyed myself and the whole process.
Andrea had a friendly and amazingly simple way of communicating, which he complemented with the amazing styles he demonstrated, his professionalism and his own peculiar warming-up and cooling-down exercises. It was highest ever level of student-coach interaction which I have ever seen in my entire dancing life (and I have seen looooooots). If I was in London at the moment, I would go for the classes without even thinking whether they fit my schedule. They were definitely the greatest time in my week and really kept up my mood and strength when I needed energy. If anyone doesn't love the experience, you're welcome to contact me but I'm sure no-one will. The classes are just A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.. Good luck everyone. I envy you - you have a chance to sign up for the classes and I don't.


Andrea's passion for dance is infectious and it spreads when he teaches.
