A pivotal moment in Roberto Baiocchi's life was his encounter with the legendary Rudolf Nureyev in 1980, which was crucial to his career. His invaluable advice encouraged him to continue his studies and further his training abroad, studying with Rosella Hightower, in the class of Maestro José Ferran, and with numerous excellent teachers at the Centre de Danse International in Cannes, and even at the Académie de Danse Classique Princesse Grace in Monte-Carlo, thanks to the generosity of Marika Bezobrazova. This intense formative period led him to dance in Europe's most prestigious theaters, opening new horizons for his training and his professional artistic career as a solo dancer.
