Hello friends, on this glorious October day!
I am so happy to introduce you to Cinzia DiCioccio, dancer in Gypsy Caravan, world traveler, Yogi instructor, and has just opened her own movement studio in Milan, Italy — Love, Light, Joy...how awesome is that?

I am Tribal Bellydance Artist and Yoga Teacher.
I joined Gypsy Caravan Dance Company in 2011 after a long preparation with my teacher and friend Paulette Rees-Denis.
Since when I met Paulette in 2005, I was fascinated by her vision of Tribal Bellydance. I loved the idea of being together, sharing the dance with other women, being part of “something” all together.
Soon I decided that Tribal Bellydance was my destiny. I stated to study seriously trough the Gypsy Caravan certification program. Especially during CS 3 and CS4, dancing with dancers that I have never met before, I understood the power of tribal belly dance, its subtle body language, the secret deep connection we were able to build. It was a revelation to me.
After many years of practice and after two years in Gypsy Caravan Dance Company I still feel the same happiness each time I dance with my Sisters. Sometimes we meet all together after a long time but one dance is enough to re-create the magic.
Tribal Bellydance is more than a dance, it becomes a philosophy of life. Through my personal experience I can say that this dance offers a broader vision of life to live peacefully and responsibly in everyday relationships.
When we dance everyone always has a dual role: leader and follower. Being a leader means taking responsibility, leading the group in respect of the elements who compose it, trying to create unity, synchronicity, and well-being among each other. Being a follower means having confidence in the leader, not to challenge their decisions, to let go of ego, and follow with commitment and serenity. When I dance with my Sisters I forget who I am, I am entranced; my being is in full, cheerful, and complete harmony with those whom I am dancing with, in that time and space.
Tribal bellydance to me is very similar to the Yoga philosophy of life: being part of a Whole where each particle and each living creature has its own importance because it contributes to the harmony of the Whole.
Besides being a dancer I am also a dance and yoga instructor; my mission is to teach people to feel good, physically, mentally and spiritually. I think it is very important to offer tools like nutrition advices, breathing and relaxation techniques, exercise routines, affirmations and positive thinking to keep the whole human being with a good vital energy.
Working with Paulette gave me the opportunity to grow as a person and as a teacher and I feel grateful to be part of this project and contribute to it.
