Our program is designed for young dancers with the ambition to become professional and to find a greater range of possibilities within their field. Our program develops their talent, and helps each dancer find their best qualities and showcase them.
After many years of experience originally as international professional dancers, Sonia Melo and Alfonso Bausilio raised and guided two sons who became extremely successful professional dancers. One is a Soloist in Paris Opéra Ballet and the other is a dancer, actor, singer on Broadway and Hollywood.
We founded our school in 1996 in Bern Switzerland. Then Sônia Melo established a school in the heart of Manhattan, New York City in 2010 and created a Professional Company in NYC in 2014.
The company has traveled internationally a number of times and Mrs. Melo produced a show on Broadway as well.
“Creating this company opened my eyes to what is important in a dancer and what I look for in a dancer when I hire them.” - Sonia Melo
The most important thing to do after a training program, is to find a job.
Auditioning dancers for my company helped me understand what is missing in today's dance training, and with that, I created my program, to help foster interesting and creative young artists who can find work as professional dancers.

A career is not about the first year of work, it is about being prepared to always find a job and to adapt to the needs of different companies.
It is very important to be open minded, creative, and be able to multitask and to not forget that we want to dance and work healthily as long as possible.
Students need to learn to be able to adapt and we have to give them tools and different techniques to make them strong, to know their body well, in order to avoid many injuries. There are a lot of working opportunities everywhere in the world, that one has to be realistic with who they are as a dancer, and they will find where they belong.
A exam evaluation will take place every year with a panel of dance experts.
