Denise Faicco is a lifelong dancer and experienced instructor with a background in Cuban salsa (casino), Brazilian contemporary movement (Técnica Silvestre), Latin rhythms, ballet, and other dance forms. She brings a strong foundation in movement, rhythm, and expressive arts to her teaching.
Since 2013, Denise has been working in adaptive dance and movement-based programming, beginning in acute care hospital settings in Port Jefferson, New York. She has since taught adaptive dance to children, adolescents, seniors in long-term care, and adults with cognitive and physical differences in school and community-based programs.
