Service Description
Danielle Marie Fusco is back by popular demand, bringing her electrifying Italian Dance Class Series to YUG Wellness in Astoria, Queens. This vibrant five-session journey invites students to move, sweat, celebrate, and reconnect with the living traditions of Southern Italian folk dance in a joyful, community-centered environment. Each class is a high-energy, heart-opening experience rooted in rhythm, storytelling, and cultural lineage. Students will explore a range of traditional Italian dances including the pizzica, tammuriata, tarantella calabrese, and more. These dances are known for their grounding footwork, expressive arms, dynamic turns, and deep connection to the earth, the drum, and communal celebration. Classes are accessible to all levels—no prior Italian dance experience is required—while still offering depth and challenge for seasoned movers. This series is designed as both a stand-alone class experience and a creative process leading toward optional performance. Students may choose to attend the one-hour weekly class only, or opt into the performance track, which includes participation in a June performance. The performance track is ideal for anyone who wishes to deepen their practice, refine choreography, and share the joy of Italian folk dance with the wider community. Please note: an additional costume fee will be announced for performance track students. Classes take place on Saturdays from 2:30–3:30 p.m. at YUG Wellness in Astoria, Queens, on the following dates: February 28th, March 14th, April 25th, May 30th, and June 13th. Each session builds upon the last while remaining welcoming to new participants. (Rehearsals are 3:30-5PM) Pricing Options • Drop-in class: $25 per session • Performance Track (full series + June performance): $250 Space is limited to ensure a high-quality, immersive experience. Advance registration is required. To reserve your spot, please register at www.daniellemariefusco.com . Come dance, connect, and celebrate Italian culture through movement, music, and community.
