EveryBodyStretch is ideal for “everybody” and for “every body”! It is a method that combines physical exercise with mental wellbeing to help cope with the stress and fatigue of everyday life.
The course offers everything we need for achieving greater wellbeing of body and mind. The lessons, which are designed and held by Keith Ferrone, offer simple, easy-to-perform movements, developed in choreographic sequence that allow students to acquire a new mastery of their gestures and body language.
The benefits are immediate: the pleasure of discovering breathing as an impulse of movement, greater coordination skills, improved posture, increase muscle power and joint flexibility, with the ensuing reduction in neck and back pain. Improved cardiovascular and respiratory capacity also reduces tension and fatigue, thus helping us in managing stress.

FLORENCE DANCE FESTIVAL
For 25 years now, the Florence Dance Festival has represented a focal point of great importance for international dance in Florence. The events of the Festival have been, and are, still held in the most beautiful spots of the city: the Cascine Park, the Roman Amphitheatre of Fiesole, Piazza SS. Annunziata, the Boboli Gardens, the Uffizi Gallery, Piazzale Michelangelo, and Forte Belvedere, to name just a few. In its numerous editions, the greatest names in the world of dance have been guests at the Festival: Merce Cunningham, Maurice Béjart, Antonio Gades, José Limon, Carolyn Carlson, Trisha Brown, Igor Mossiev, Cristina Hoyos, David Parsons, Stephen Petronio, Boris Eiffman, Pasquale Rioult, Alessandra Ferri, Julio Bocca, Isabelle Gueren, Laurence Hillaire, Marga Nativo, and Carla Fracci as well as the leading companies worldwide. Since 2009 the Festival has been held in the National Bargello Museum: the privilege of being able to exploit such a magnificent courtyard for the performances offers an incredible opportunity of students of the European Academy of Florence. In fact, during the summer courses they are regularly involved in the productions and the unforgettable experience of holding a performance in a single site. What does it take to become a choreographer? How do you learn to give shape to ideas through movement and music? Our workshop is divided into three parts: dance, choreographic design and the final performance. Through this course, students have a complete experience in choreography under the guidance of an expert teacher acclaimed internationally.
