PAOLO DI SEGNI Born in Switzerland in 1960, Maestro Di Segni started his musical education following the Jaques-Dalcroze method. He specialized in historical dance under the guidance of well-known teachers such as Barbara Sparti, Francine Lancelott, and Sherley Winne.
Maestro Di Segni researches and reconstructs nineteenth-century ballroom dances, presenting them both as shows and overtures at balls, or by serving as Maître de Cérémonie. He regularly directs nineteenth-century balls in Rome (Palazzo Barberini, Palazzo Taverna, Hotel Quirinale, Borgo di Tragliata, and Accademia Nazionale di Danza).
He has taken part in numerous tours in Italy and abroad, with such Renaissance and Baroque dance ensembles as Il Gruppo di Danza Rinascimentale, La Cortesia del Ballo, and La Follia.
He has often been on programmes for Telemontecarlo and RAI DUE, while teaching at Rome’s Teatro dell’Opera school and in Catania at Balletto di Sicilia. He has a long standing collaboration with the ‘Il Teatro della Memoria’ association.
He has taught courses in Naples for the ‘Dimensione Polifonica’, developing and directing shows and events on the Renaissance and the nineteenth century for the municipality and the Province of Naples, and the Campania Region. He has worked with the Orchestra of the Teatro del Petruzzelli in Bari, conducted by Janosh Acs.
