Vertical dance workshops designed for different levels, focusing on organic and functional vertical movement in relation to the use of the harness and the force of gravity.

Dance is always at the forefront: we dance with harnesses in the vertical scene, developing artistic, compositional, and choreographic aspects according to the participants’ movement vocabulary.
Each workshop includes:
Vertical Suspension Training®, an internationally recognized method created by Wanda Moretti Indoor and outdoor practice (weather permitting)
A theoretical presentation, sometimes supported by video, on the development of vertical dance worldwide
 
Registration & Information
All equipment is provided by us; however, professionals are kindly requested to bring their own personal equipment.

Classes take place at our venue,
Vertical Dance Centre, located at Via Lazzarini 12, 30175 Venezia, Italy.

TRAINING CALENDAR 2026
 
Vertical Dance Teacher Training
19–23 July
10am– 5pm

The first structured and comprehensive vertical dance training programme created by Wanda Moretti.

It began as a training method for the dancers of the Il Posto company and has since become an internationally recognised practice.

Suitable both as an advanced course and refresher program for professional dancers and vertical dance artists, and as an introductory program for teaching vertical dance to teenagers and adults.
 
The basics of vertical dance, from technique to composition
5-6 September
10am - 5pm

The program is designed for dancers and movers who have never practised vertical dance or have only done so occasionally, but who have a good background in other movement disciplines.
Also aimed at practitioners and teachers of aerial disciplines, circus artists and gymnasts.

 
Practices and tools
Equipment for new perspectives
13-14-15 November
10am - 17pm
Professional

The programme is designed to develop knowledge of several vertical dance tools in order to expand new choreographic visions.
In addition to low fly practice, we will experience with counterweights, pulleys, motorised winches, and bungee ropes. The focus of this workshop is to help dancers gain confidence in their bodies on the wall and in the air when using equipment as an extension of themselves.

WATER MOVES centers on the body as a vessel, exploring how we are moved by the aqueous forces that sustain us. Water lives in our bodies as life force, memory, momentum and vulnerability. WATER MOVES is delivered through movement, projection, sound, sensation and dances with 5 gallon water jugs. It is an invitation to feel what it means to be suspended within forces larger than ourselves.

Zaccho Dance Theatre Presents

Return to Forever

Inspired by Artistic Director Joanna Haigood’s rediscovery of a handwritten song log from her teenage years as a radio disc jockey, Return to Forever is a meditation on time, memory, and the enduring presence of Zaccho Studio's history of work. 


The music, drawn from Haigood’s 1975 playlist of iconic American artists such as Billie Holiday and Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, serves as an emotional bridge between youth and elderhood, recalling moments of joy, curiosity, and creative awakening.
