Bio//

 

Roberto Bagnoli is a master teacher of international folkdance with a specialization in traditional and modern Israeli, Balkan,

Italian and Contra dances.

​

He discovered his love for Israeli dance many years ago in Rome when he started dancing with the Jewish community there, and then began performing with “Sasson Ve Simcha” and teaching classes at the Jewish Community Center.

​

He subsequently studied Israeli dance in workshops throughout Europe, the United States, and in Israel under the guidance of various choreographers and teachers.

​

In 2000 he co-directed and choreographed the performance “Mazal Tov” and a few years later, founded the association “Folk Atelier Reggio Emilia”, dedicated to preserving and promoting folk dance and other folk arts. The association is responsible for dance classes throughout Italy, and Roberto himself teaches weekly classes in Reggio Emilia, Modena, Cremona, Crema, Piacenza and Imola.

​

He is the director of two highly successful camps in Italy each year: Balkanot, the first ever Israeli and Balkan dance camp, which takes place every January, and Camp Yofi, Israeli dance, which takes place in July.

​

Roberto conducts workshops and seminars throughout Europe, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and the United States, and has been on the teaching staff of Stockton International Dance Camp for six years.
