Elisa is originally from Italy, where she started dancing at the age of 14. She moved to London in 2014 and completed her degree in Contemporary Dance at London Contemporary Dance School, where she had the opportunity to perform pieces by Hofesh Schechter, Punchdrunk and Sasha Roubicek.
Upon graduation, Elisa joined the programming department at Sadler’s Wells before becoming company tour manager for Balletboyz. In this role, she discovered her passion for sewing and costume construction, and she continued to develop these skills alongside touring, working as a freelance seamstress and knitter. She joined Fashion Technology Academy as Sewing Tutor and Technician, and worked alongside small brand designers to produce their collections to be featured in London Fashion Week
Elisa is excited to join London City Ballet and looks forward to nurturing her passion further.
