Italia Performing Arts has
brought a new concept of a
dance studio to the Winchester,
Virginia area. Miss Lorenza, the
founder and principal, chose an
Italian theme for the studio,
reflecting the culture and
refinement of her native Italy,
the homeland of Romantic ballet.
She is convinced that dance and
other performing arts flourish
best in the right environment. So
she has designed her studio in
the best European style, blending
the elegance of the Romantic era
with modern elements. The main
studio area features a full length
mural, painted by professional
artists, based on the ballerina
pictures of the impressionist
painter Degas. The reception
area is enhanced by a bronze
copy of Degas’s famous statue of
a 14-year-old ballet dancer.

Ballet (Cecchetti method)
Lorenza Manara Marchi is the School Principal and
head teacher of the Ballet department. She
specializes in classical ballet according to the Italian
Cecchetti method, which she studied in Italy and in
England. She invites children from age 3 up, teens
and adults to sign up for ballet classes. She focuses
on developing her students’ dance technique and
artistry, from which she builds performance skills.
Miss Lorenza was born and grew up in Florence,
Italy. She and her British husband Peter moved to
the USA in 2012 to set up her dance studio. She is a
qualified ballet teacher,
holding the DDI and DDE in
the Cecchetti method from
the Imperial Society of
Teachers of Dancing and the
Licentiate of the Cecchetti
Council of America.
Hip-Hop
Our hip-hop dance classes, for children age 7 and up
and teens, teach this funky style of dance. Students
learn the fundamentals of the style such as
isolations and flexibility. This class encourages
students to dance outside of the box and bring their
own personality to each movement. As a family
oriented dance studio we are careful to find suitable
clean music and avoid inappropriate moves.
Tap
Our tap classes for children age 3-11 give them the
ability to learn tap, combining dance with rhythmic
foot patterns for a fun and challenging class.
Gina Lewis teaches
tap and hip-hop at
Italia Performing
Arts. Gina has been
dancing since her
heart started
beating. Her love of
dance has led her
to many dance
studios; however,
she has found her
home at Italia
Performing Arts.
Ballet/Pilates Combo
If you danced as a child, or always wanted to, it is
not too late to put the art of dance back into your
movements. Miss Lorenza, who has qualified as a
Pilates instructor as well as a ballet teacher, offers
this unique class for adults combining ballet and
Pilates movements, for fitness, flexibility and fun.
Irish Dance
A network of Irish dancers and
their teachers span the globe,
regularly meeting to compete,
share knowledge and enjoy
this rich culture.
Timing and rhythm are of utmost importance in Irish
dancing. It is the intricate and fast paced footwork
that has captured the imagination of the world. This
mixture of rhythmic footwork and lively music is
sure to set toes tapping, wherever they are heard!
Italia Performing Arts offers
Irish dance classes for
beginners age 5+, advanced
beginners, intermediate
students, and adults.
Sarah Armstrong teaches Irish
Dance at Italia Performing Arts,
and is a trainee teacher of
ballet.
Sarah hopes to qualify soon as
a certified teacher of Irish
dance (TCRG), which will allow
her to present her students at
competitions.

Italia Performing Arts are limited to 10-12 students.
