Phoenix studio dance a.s.d.

Phoenix Studio Dance a.s.d. is a multi-discipline dance school in Milan offering courses across classical ballet, modern, contemporary, hip hop, reggaeton, salsa cubana, Latin dance, flamenco, belly dance, tribal fusion, and pilates. Located at Via Andrea Maria Ampère 103 in the Lambrate area, the studio sits within five minutes' walk of five metro stations (Lambrate, Loreto, Piola, Pasteur, Udine) and multiple bus lines, making it easily accessible from anywhere in the city or suburbs.

The school is structured around five main course categories: classes for children aged 3–12, courses for teenagers aged 13–17, adult classes (17+), couple dances, and postural fitness with Pilates method. Children's classes include Gioco Danza (from age 3), classical ballet for ages 5–6, modern dance from age 7, and hip hop from age 7–8. Teen and adult offerings span street styles (hip hop, breakdance, reggaeton, dancehall), academic disciplines (classical, modern, contemporary), international partner dances (salsa cubana, son cubano, rumba cubana, liscio, ballroom), and ethnic/choreographic styles (flamenco, flamenco árabe, belly dance, tribal fusion). Courses are levelled by difficulty and age group rather than mixed-level, ensuring classes progress cohesively without being held back by beginners.

The teaching staff comprises experienced professionals, many with backgrounds in international dance academies and established careers in major dance companies. The school organizes regular performances (saggi di danza), flamenco shows, Latin American shows, and dance events throughout the year. It also runs a trial week (Settimana di Prova) offering free lessons for children aged 3–16 and €5 trial classes for adults. The school holds a trial week each September (17–25 September 2026). Special workshops and masterclasses with internationally known dancers are offered periodically to enrich student knowledge and skills. The studio describes its atmosphere as inclusive and welcoming, where students of all ages feel valued and supported. The environment skews young, with most adult classes attended by people aged 18–40, though individual courses may have varying age distributions.
