Dance Italia is a vibrant community of artists and educators who gather each summer to challenge themselves artistically in a rigorous and supportive professional environment where each dancer receives individualized attention.

Heading into our 16th edition, we are committed to contributing to the technical, artistic, and personal growth of all participants in a safe, non-competitive, and non-judgmental space.

DI thrives on the creative exchange of ideas, exploration, and opportunities for participants to experience a diverse spectrum of dance/movement disciplines. Dancers expand their skills through daily classes, workshops, discussions, informal showings, and performances while meeting world-renowned artists through informal discussions and social gatherings, becoming a part of an extended network of artists.

DI is run by Stefanie Nelson Dancegroup, a not-for-profit contemporary dance organization focused on fostering connections among dancers and choreographers, and supporting international artists through connections, opportunities, and mentorship. Committed to empowering artists, DI provides a crucial framework for the development of healthy approaches to positioning oneself in the dance field.
