THE HISTORY OF THE ACADEMY

In 1987 the school together with the Balletto di Toscana company moved to Via Monteverdi where it took its name Scuola del Balletto di Toscana and where it trained and developed talents for over thirty years of activity.
In 2024 Cristina Bozzolini, as the culmination of a life dedicated to art and dance, receives the prestigious “Fiorino d’oro” award, the highest recognition that the City of Florence attributes to personalities who have distinguished themselves through their well-known work and which we have given prestige to the city and rendered a service to the national and international community.
