Her story
Arianna is from Turin, born and raised. She started off dancing hip hop, but eventually transitioned to Salsa in 2008 just for a bit of fun and change. She decided at some point to start doing amateur competitions, but it was always for fun and nothing serious. However that all changed when in 2015 after a terrible motorcycle accident that could have left her unable to walk; she realized that dancing was more important to her than she had ever thought before. It was more than a sport, it was soon to become her life. In the end, a very dark moment in her life turned into a revelation that pushed her to make dancing her career.
And after learning from the great masters of dance, here she is!
 
In 2008, Arianna Bazzini began her career in the world of Caribbean dances, competing both in couple and solos in the Italian Dance Federation in international class and in IDO obtaining numerous awards and excellent results both in Italy and abroad (vice world champion in 2014 in Salsa shine discipline).
 
She graduated as a Dance Teacher of Caribbean Dance in 2016 and began teaching in some schools of the North of Italy.

CARMINE FINELLI
Ecletic dancer, he kicks off his Caribbean dances' career in Italy, with the cuban teachers who introduce him to the salsa world. He’s soon fascinated by all forms of dances: afro, tap, swing and jazz are on his radar, until he falls in love with hip hop. Here he focuses on old school techniques and he specializes in house dance and new style. Later on he collects experiences in Europe and abroad, fine-tuning his training with the best teachers in London, Paris and New York. In the Big Apple he discovers a huge passion for mambo thanks to the guidance of Eddie Torres, and he performs in Los Primos Latinos’ Festival. Today Carmine is an all-around dancer with a unique style, able to combine all influences and disciplines he learnt in an authentic killer-formula.
