"I have known Daniela for many years and consider her a person of high moral integrity whose wealth of knowledge and teaching experience is highly commendable. She is competent, reliable, self-motivated and loyal to my school and students. The skills and experience she has attained both overseas and in Australia is of great value and benefit to both my young students and up-and-coming professional dancers". Terry Simpson (ARAD, LRAD, Examiner, Tutor), School Principal at 'Terry Simpson Studios'
"It has been a pleasure to have known Daniela Di Fabio in both personal and professional capacities, for some 25 years. I was Daniela's first private studio dance teacher from the commencement of her involvement at age five through her training as a child, teenager and young adult. With her uncompromising expectation of standards of excellence in both self and those she now teaches, Daniela has succeeded in combining - without compromise - the creativity, exploration and discovery of her choreographic experiences together with the knowledge of somatic practices". Susan Taylor (Former Lecturer in Dance - University of Adelaide; TAFE Centre for the Performing Arts; Victorian College of the Arts; Vocational Graded Examiner Royal Academy of Dance 1982-2002)
“I am 48 years old and starting to feel a few aches and pains over the last few years. Daniela is honestly the best Pilates/Yoga teacher I have ever had. The time and care she takes to make sure everyone is doing the exercises correctly and the effort to accomodate it to people's individual needs is why I wouldn't go to anyone else now and will follow her wherever she goes 😀". Anjie
“Daniela has an exceptional understanding of movement and posture. Our weekly training sessions helped me to develop strength and movement patterns to recover from injuries and to move with confidence and ease. Daniela used her deep knowledge of dance, Pilates and conditioning to skilfully tailor my program, constantly fine tuning in response to my performance and progress. Every session was challenging and enjoyable”. Mary
"I asked Daniela to teach me as I was preparing for my RAD Advanced 2 exam. Right from the first private lesson, she spotted a dozen technique and artistry points we could work on. Over the following lessons we were able to work through these corrections and I started to be able to pull off steps and technical improvements that I hadn’t been able to master until then. I think it was the combination of her keen eye for detail, her really visual and easy to understand way of explaining corrections and her fun loving energy and enthusiasm that allowed it to all fall in to place. Some of these tips and hints I still think of and use in every single ballet class I take. I also thank her for pushing me out of my comfort zone in terms of the expression and artistry of my dancing which is so important in ballet, particularly in Advanced 2. The performance aspect of my dancing really stepped up to the next level thanks to the classes with Daniela. Highly recommended and I look forward to trying other classes she has to offer". Amanda
"Daniela is fantastic as both a dance and conditioning teacher!! She listens well and tailors her class to suit current needs. I've gained strength, flexibility and massively better movement". Fiona
"Having never tried Pilates or yoga, I was unsure what benefits I would see from this form of exercise. Attending Daniela’s class was amazing! Following her direction I have noticed a sizeable change in my flexibility and stamina, even my posture has improved. Daniela explains each move and the benefits that can be achieved by activating your core. I wish I had known this 30 years ago". Sharon
