I created this Method Russe de Monte Carlo for Ballet Schools and Younger Bal lerinas. There are special courses for Ballet Teachers in order for them to execute the proper use of my method. The method is an approach to the classical ballet com bining my vision of how to teach, how to transmit the information to a lerina, how to speak about the body, mind and soul of an artist. I the Ballet World these 3 levels are vital of a Great Ballet Dancer and need to work on and Often this is not the usual vision in Ballet. My Method will be given as an academic program, consists of 14 levels from 4 years to 18 years so they grow every year with clear academic program that they can achieve and the goal is to be a Great Professional Baller Dancer. There are few different schools in Italy and in France who are following my program.

You became an author what inspires you to write a book?

It really started when I produced a project in titled “Origin, The answer”. The project was born with Big shows in Mind and for Big Venues, Arenas and not for theaters. The Preparation of this show was Mega Huge, with so many years of work along with Big Team, a new concept, big budget, a new world. A world of Scifi like Lord of the Rings, Star Wars or Games of Thrones and it involves many years of hard work on this project and still on development to this day. We are hoping eventually this will end up in movie theatres for sure the interest is there. Based on this project which I wrote the script, allowed me to collect a lot of information, learnt a lot from mesopotamian tablet to quantum theories to create the plot and from here I decided to write a book. The Plot of my book is Epic Fantasy which brings spiritual and epic Saga, adventure, Swashbuckling and big Value of People in universal way. The book is sacred, EPIC its like a Bible … and you need to read the 3 books to get the grasp and give you the best understanding. Its going to be a Blockbuster if it will go to Movie.
