Fabrizia Fiordellisi is an aerial rope instructor whose journey began at a circus school in Rome. She later moved to Barcelona, where she spent more than four years deepening her practice through ongoing training, intensive workshops, and her first experiences as a teacher.
She is now based in her hometown of Naples, where she leads regular classes and offers aerial rope workshops throughout Italy and Spain. Driven by curiosity, Fabrizia continues to train and evolve, keeping research and personal growth at the core of her practice.
About the Teachers:
Angie Frapelovna discovered her passion for movement early in life, growing up with a strong foundation in acrobatics. At the age of 20, she moved to Barcelona, where she was introduced to aerial circus disciplines—particularly aerial silks and aerial rope. Around the same time, she began studying classical dance, a practice she continues to cultivate and that deeply influences her artistic expression.
As her interest in aerial rope grew, she embarked on a dedicated journey to specialise in dynamic rope. This path combined self-guided research with training alongside experienced professionals in the field. Through years of exploration, she has developed a unique personal style that merges the precision of classical and contemporary dance with the strength, fluidity, and dynamic qualities of aerial rope and acrobatics.
