Contact Improvisation
We have a thin crust of name, job, country, age — and underneath, the raw force of nature. Contact Improvisation is a practice of getting beneath that crust – a tool for transformation.
When we dance CI, we interact with the transcendental parts of each other. We discover the inherent poetry of life itself. I teach people to engage with each other in a different way — to perceive what is actually there, rather than what they expect to find.
What I teach
Improvisation
My classes and workshops are grounded in the fundamental question: how do we do something we have never done before — and how do we do it together?
Transformation
I teach CI as a tool for transformation — not just a dance technique, but a practice that changes how you relate to yourself, to others, and to uncertainty. My approach is informed by anatomy, yoga philosophy, poetry, and the deep inquiry-based work I studied at TOWARDS in Northern Thailand.
Embodiment
I create spaces where people can soften, discover ease, and find the wild aliveness that lives beneath habitual patterns.
Questions
How to do something that you have never done before? How to do something together? Who are we together?

What people say
“Fabio is an incredible contact dancer and most importantly a wonderful teacher who holds space with an open heart and creates a truly safe, supportive learning environment. Join his classes if you want to develop not only technical skills but also deep understanding and reverence for the dance, including its philosophy, language and subtitles of listening and communication. Learning from him really gave me access to a different dimension of the dance practice.”
Ana
Ubud, Bali
“I was glad to get to Fabio’s workshop. The biggest thing I took away for myself was to start feeling the micro movements and what was happening in my body. Not to run and not to jump, but to be in the flow smoothly. Thank you for such a great experience.”
Sergey

“Fabio is experienced in dance but also in life philosophy, and is able to connect human beings and their movement. He sees deep into us and his support feedback helped me to progress in my practice. It was just an amazing experience for me to be part of his creation. If you looking for a unique and authentic experience, I would recommend his talent.”
