"All Bodies Speak"

Elisa

Lea Sargiotto joined Gotta Dance in 2018 and currently teaches people of all ages with physical, emotional and mental disabilities private dance lessons through her program called, All Bodies Speak.

Lea graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts in Dance from The University of The Arts in 2016. Lea is a certified “DanceAbility® International” dance instructor which, she earned in Vienna, Austria. She also received training from Mark Morris’s Dance Company for Parkinson’s Disease, “Dance For PD®.” Prior to completing her college degree, Lea fused her mixed abilities knowledge into her own class called “All Bodies Speak.” Her classes offer all individuals the opportunity to increase their confidence, self-esteem and sense of accomplishment through movement. Lea’s mission is to create an equal opportunity for ALL ages and ALL bodies to release endorphins while sharing the beautiful experience of diversity and a love of movement.

Lea continues dancing for Total Entertainment, caregiving for our community with Autism, and dancing for modern freelance projects in Brooklyn, NY. Lea is also choreographing modern dance solos and following her lifetime dedication of teaching All Bodies Speak to the special needs community in the Tri-State area.
