ELEINA D. DANCE COMPANY (aerial-contemporary dance) was founded in 2011 to combine the spectacle of aerial dance with the sensitivity of the gesture of contemporary dance. Artistic Directors Vito Cassano and Claudia Cavalli met at the Mvula Sungani Company in Rome. During the production of Sete, EleinaD. was awarded the audience award ‘ex aequo’ at the "G'd'A" competition. In 2013, they began collaborating with Kataklò as dancers, choreographers and teachers.
