✨ Dancers We Love ✨
With her impeccable technique and commanding presence, Nicoletta Manni has become one of the most captivating ballerinas of her generation. Trained at La Scala’s prestigious ballet school, Nicoletta made history in 2023 when she was named Etoile—becoming the first dancer in nearly 40 years to receive this title from within the company’s own ranks.

From the lyrical beauty of Giselle to the dramatic duality of Odette/Odile in Swan Lake, she brings emotion, elegance, and fierce precision to every role. A true symbol of Italian ballet excellence, Nicoletta continues to inspire young dancers around the world with her artistry and grace. 🇮🇹🩰
