ROMANO ATMO is a French dance company. Founded by Petia IOURTCHENKO and his wife Anne-Marie IOURTCHENKO in Paris, in 1994, it is made up of active amateur gypsy dancers and artists from all walks of life: dancers, actors, singers, musicians ...
The dancers hail from different nations and backgrounds: most are “non-gypsy” (“gadgie”) French, but there are also Russians, Romanians, Spanish, Poles ... ROMANO ATMO’s youngest artist is only eight years old! Some have been dancing with Petia for over twelve years, while others entered the company this year.
The company is a family, concerned about sharing its art and love for gypsy folklore as broadly as possible, through gala performances, new works, evening performances in Paris restaurants, open rehearsals and yearly auditions for new dancers who have reached the required level of proficiency and wish to share their love for this form of dance on stage, with an audience.
Every Sunday, the company comes together at "Studio PIETRAGALLA compagny", located at 12th street Gustave Nicklès (91170 BAGNOLET), just after the Beginners’ and Intermediate-Level courses,
to rehearse their repertoire and work on new works, as part of the association “MTK La Danse”.
Every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evening, the dancers rent a room in Paris to test out new steps,
create new works and practice their repertoire in their quest for perfection.
