Stella Papi

 Stella is an expert sitter!

This is based on a combination of hours worked, positive feedback received and skills/experience.

Stella is an Italian dance artist trained at the Laban Conservatoire. For the past ten years, Stella has been performing for several artists and started leading movement classes for under five’s and their  families. Stella is also a mother of a two year old.

During her sessions, Stella enjoys using a mixture of dance, physical play, props, rhymes and improvisation to support the children’s physical development but also their creative,  explorative minds. They will be able to explore different kinds of objects such as large stretchy fabrics, hoops, ribbons, feathers, sugar bubbles and a large parachute. Children will be challenged to perform exercises with these objects introducing new movement skills  to their physical language but also developing their confidence and self esteem. Through observation and listening, the little ones will develop their imagination, they will learn about persistence and collaborative skills. They will also improve their body and spatial awareness, practicing control and coordination of their body moving in different directions,  levels and sizes. 

Stella can adapt her movement ideas to suit different ages, abilities, spaces or limitations. She can also offer themed sessions with specific props to make it all more exciting for special  occasions. 

Stella’s native language is Italian and she can lead language immersion activities in Italian.
