GiaNina Paolantonio’s Master Class: A Night of Unmatched Energy & Artistry at True Dance Potential

On Friday, January 24th, True Dance Potential witnessed an unforgettable night of dance with the incredible Gianina Paolantonio. With only 16 hours’ notice, dancers from across Long Island showed up ready to train, and the turnout was absolutely insane! The energy, the passion, and the movement in the room were nothing short of spectacular.

From the moment Gianina stepped into our training facility, she transformed the space with her expertise, raw artistry, and powerful presence. Every dancer in the room felt pushed, inspired, and deeply connected to the movement, experiencing contemporary dance at its highest level.

A Master Class That Raised the Bar

For those who don’t already know, Gianina Paolantonio is a force in the dance industry. She currently teaches at Millennium Dance Complex LA, Playground LA, and Broadway Dance Center NYC, working with some of the most elite dancers in the world.

Her Contemporary Master Class at True Dance Potential was a perfect blend of athleticism and expression. She challenged dancers to:

 Execute movement with precision – Strengthening control, balance, and body awareness.
 Feel the music beyond the steps – Learning to move with intention and emotional connection.
 Push their limits physically & artistically – Understanding how to use functional strength to enhance fluidity and power.

Adding to the excitement, we had Whois.Weston, a renowned California-based videographer and photographer, at our facility capturing every breathtaking moment—ensuring this class will live on through stunning visuals.

True Dance Potential: Where Artistic Athletes Train

For those new to True Dance Potential, we are not a dance studio—we are a training facility designed for artistic athletes.

Our primary focus is on:

 Postural correction – Helping dancers align their bodies for maximum efficiency and injury prevention.
 Functional science – Implementing strategic movement training to enhance strength, mobility, and stability while refining mechanics for injury prevention and performance longevity.
 Strength & Conditioning for Dancers – Combining mobility drills, stabilization techniques, and targeted strength training to optimize power, endurance, and injury resilience.

We are dedicated to bridging the gap between dance and movement science, providing dancers with elite-level training right here on Long Island—eliminating the need to travel far for these opportunities. Our mission is simple: train smarter, move better, and perform stronger.

Who’s Ready for GiaNina’s Return?!
