After one year at the Wimbledon Dance School of London, she returned to Italy.

During her high school studies, she gradually became part of “Teatrodanza Contemporanea di Roma”, a company directed by Elsa Piperno and considered at that time the Italian breeding ground for dancers. Joseph Fontano, Patrizia Cerroni, Bob Curtis, Marcia Plevin and Jacqulyn Buglisi are just a few names of choreographers that taught and created pieces in that space.

Daniela intensified her study of Graham technique here.
