Paco Dècina has been practising for two years in France where he runs the Champigny Conservatory, after working at the "Carcano" in the prestigious company of Louis Falco, as part of the shows around Leonardo da Vinci. Thirty years old, originally from Naples, Decina studied with Bob Curtis and Peter Gross, whose taste for movement never interrupted, obtained by a continuous flow of energy.
