Claudia Pompili –
Aesthetics meets perfection
Claudia Pompili, a graduate of the renowned National Academy of Dance in Rome, dances with passion and dedication in the acclaimed dance company „Excursus“, under the inspiring direction of Ricky Bonavita, whose assistant she also is. Who could better embody the art of contemporary dance than „Excursus“, one of Europe’s finest ensembles, renowned for its distinctive aesthetic and captivating choreography?
Claudia’s journey began at the tender age of 9 in L’Aquila, not far from Rome. Her training at the prestigious „Accademia Nazionale di Danza di Roma“ opened the door to major performances, in which she demonstrated her talent whilst still a student – including in impressive choreographies by greats such as Ugo Dell’Ara and Alwin Nikolais. Who could forget the energy and creativity she brings to her numerous stage performances and dance films?
Claudia Pompili –
Brand Ambassador
But Claudia is not only an outstanding dancer; she is also a passionate teacher. She shares her knowledge through inspiring masterclasses at various schools and academies, thereby nurturing the next generation of dancers.
In 2024, Claudia was appointed brand ambassador for Apliéplus. Why? Because she embodies the perfect fusion of contemporary dance and classical ballet – a symbol of aesthetic beauty and grace in dance. This duality is also reflected in Apliéplus: the perfection of our materials and shapes is combined with artful design.
Are you ready to let Claudia’s energy sweep you away? Let’s redefine the boundaries of dance together!
