«When they told me that there were no dance performances in the Arena», the dancer recalled, «I didn’t hesitate for a moment. I said “then let us rent it and take the risk ourselves! “”.
The artist was certain that “the dance would have had the strength to fill the Arena and there was a need to prove it ». Since 2012, the year of the first date in the Roman amphitheater, «dance is back in the Arena programming and many other places where it was simply no longer offered. Be popular does not mean not being excellent “.
