La nostra storia:

​

Everything begins with the name of our company: ‘Don’t Give Up.’ In a complex juncture of our personal lives, where we found ourselves needing to start anew from scratch, we embarked on this journey driven by our passion for dance and our love for people. Our purpose was to convey that no matter what life throws at us, we must always move forward with unwavering confidence. ICONIQUE Milano, in its expression and meticulous attention to detail, has become the manifestation of the community we initially envisioned—a community founded on passion and genuine friendship with our clients

L'idea di base:

​

The central idea revolves around the democratization of dance. Dance, alongside other fundamental artistic expressions like music and visual representation, stands as a cornerstone of human existence. Yet, in our view, dance has become excessively elitist, confined to true professionals. Consequently, if someone abandons it in their youth, they often lose the opportunity to return and engage with it again.

Our vision, therefore, is to draw inspiration from dance—to fling wide open the doors of this enchanting realm to people of all ages and physical predispositions. Whether one has danced before or not, the essential joy lies in intimately embracing this ancient dream and breathing new life into it—a reflection of myriad aspects of existence.

Moreover, our inspiration stems from dance itself. We’ve grown weary of the monotonous repetitions in the gym, where the body moves in one direction while the mind wanders elsewhere, burdened by the day’s troubles. Dance demands the presence of both body and mind. In that hour of class, as distractions fade, individuals rediscover themselves—mind, body, and spirit. And remember, dance isn’t confined to the classical; our classes, such as Barre and Body Ballet, offer dynamic intensity—a refreshing experience well worth exploring.

I nostri insegnanti:

​

Our selection process is rigorously stringent. Each instructor undergoes multiple stages of interviews, testing, and internal training to ensure that we curate the very best for each discipline within the Milanese arena. Moreover, many of our instructors boast prestigious experiences both in Italy and abroad—places like Momix in New York, La Scala, Bolshoy in Moscow, and Victoria & Albert in London. What’s more, our instructors are multilingual, adeptly catering to our international audience.

​

​

We proudly embrace our international identity:

​

While many other studios may claim to be ‘international,’ few truly embody it. Our origins are both Italian and global; we’ve lived in various corners of the world over the years. From firsthand experience, we understand what it means to be an ‘expat’—the challenges one encounters along the way. We firmly believe that differences are opportunities for discovery and learning. That’s precisely why our staff is international, and it’s why our classes are always conducted in multiple languages simultaneously. To all the expats in Milan, we say: we speak your language, and above all, we welcome you!
