“They coaxed and pushed and pulled the last once of energy out of these muscles. I danced until I dropped. Then Thierry poked me, Anna beckoned me and Nunzio held out his hand. And I rose from the ashes, I’m still flying!“

JENNIFER, Social Education Worker from Laufach/ Aschaffenburg

“In sum, I can really recommend PiSA to anyone, who likes an active vacation with friendly and interesting people in beautiful surroundings!“

ANNE, Economist from Copenhagen

“I joined for the first time taking part at PiSA 2020 and it could not have been more beautiful. It was a perfect balance of dancing and holidays, perfect for some relaxing in the sun or enjoying dance class with a breathtaking view! Definitly coming back again!“

LUNA, Professional Dancer from Austria

“PiSA is definitely one of the best holidays I have ever had. 10 days with lovely people who share the same passion for dancing in a breathtaking beach location with crystal clear water and perfect weather. I know it sounds too good to be true, but it is true. And I will go back in a heartbeat!“

SAMANTHA, Strategy Consultant in Frankfurt

This morning class is suitable for all participants who enjoy moving! Improve your strength and flexibility – for your dancing or simply general body improvement! Most exercises are done on the floor and inspired by Yoga, Pilates and FloorBarre.

“My lessons will help you discover your physical capabilities and enable you to overcome what you preceive as your limitations.”

Nunzio Lombardo’s dance style evolved through his varied stage experiences in classical dance and West End musicals and is therefore based on ballet, as well as traditional contemporary and jazz techniques. He believes that technique is essential to master control of the body so that the dancing may be fully experienced in a way that prevents injury

This course is suitable for more experienced and intermediate dancers.

„Dance can make you shine –
experience the personal freedom within your dance!“

This course is suitable for all participants with beginner/basic dancing knowledge. Nunzios unique teaching method forms the basis of Anna’s classes. Total relaxation and ease with self is integral to this method, allowing the dancer to develop movement and choreography in a highly personal way. Dancing becomes a joyful, unique expression of freedom!!

„Every choreography has its own story, known only to the dancer.
Thus every move has meaning and gives you goose bumps while you are dancing”

This course is suitable for all participants with beginner/basic ballet knowledge.

Do you know “Rock the Ballet” or “Ballet Revolution”?
This class lets you experience ballet in a very refreshing way! After a Ballet Workout/WarmUp, there will be pirouettes and jumps, and finally a choreography to learn that combines classical movement with emotional pop music!

The course is suitable for more experienced and intermediate ballet dancers.

60min. Dance Workout designed for everyone! It’s all about having fun and you won’t even notice that you are exercising at the same time 🙂

No experience needed.

The class begins with a short warmup. Afterwards we will work on the music, the steps, moves, and emotions.

Nunzio will direct choreography, but independent choreography will also be created by the individual dancer. The course is perfectly suited to all levels, as each dancer will be given parts tailored to his/her level of expertise..

Experience choreography, group energy and your personal way to express“
