Emozionale™"
" The creation of the company De Nova Luce in October 2009 came out
from the necessity to explore my new intentions, those that had taken me
to leavs the previous condition. I had to put that confused material
into shape, give it a specific direction. Since the first show created
with the company, CorpoAcorpo, tha was a great success, we never
stopped, and we have been living experiences that gave us a very big
response from the audience. Our style mixes elements of theatrical
expression to many usual bellydance movements. What results from all
this is what we have called Tribal Bellydance Emozionale".
In 2010 Francesca creates the series of combos and formations called
Tribal Bellydance Old School "De Nova Luce", made of specific moves
that are the peculiar way of expression of the company "De Nova Luce".
