Our professional dance teachers at DanceTown in Wettingen
Daniela Bianchi
Children's Dance & Jazz / Direction
At the age of 11, Daniela made a smooth transition from music to dancing. From that point on, jazz, modern, ballet and afro were an integral part of her life.
She took part in various dance performances and shows before starting a two-year training course to become a jazz dance teacher at 'tanzen by Marina Wallier' in 1996. After completing her training, she moved to New York for two months to train intensively and to gain additional tools for her own work as a jazz dance teacher. Also, in the interest of good dance lessons, she trained to practice spiral dynamics.
Daniela Bianchi founded and managed the 'Tanzbude' from 2002 to 2010, before it was fully formed into 'DanceTown'. On the one hand, as a teacher, she is dedicated to the school's young dancers and, on the other hand, as the director of DanceTown GmbH, she is committed to creating the ideal environment for students and the teaching team.

Antonio Dzajo
Contemporary Jazz & Dance Technique
As a 3-year-old ballet girl, Antonia discovered the world of dance in Croatia. Since then, life without classical dance, jazz, modern, contemporary and hip-hop has been simply unthinkable for her. Training after school, dance competitions and conferences were a natural part of her everyday life. When she came to Switzerland at the age of 16, the first thing she did was finding a dance studio to train in.
Luckily for us, she found one with us. Antonia's dance lessons are based on good jazz and ballet technique, which she skilfully combines with modern and contemporary styles. Her lessons are full of passion, energy, discipline and fun. The results speak for themselves!
B-Boy Cho
Breaking
A world-class B-Boy has found his way to us. His crew "Morning of Owl" enjoys a high international reputation and is well-known throughout the breaking scene. After they won the UK B-Boy Championship, the R16 and many other important tournaments, all kinds of doors opened for them. Worldwide trips became a daily routine, commercials were a constant, and they were commissioned by their own government to represent the South Korean art scene abroad.
He also crossed Switzerland, and we are not the only ones happy about that. He has been part of the internationally acclaimed dance show "Break the Tango" since 2017 and is actively involved in the free dance scene. Cho inspires our youngsters with all facets of breaking, and we are grateful for that.
