Biography

edit

Stefano De Martino took his first steps in the dance sector at the age of ten. In 2007 he managed to win a scholarship in New York City, at the Broadway Dance Center, thanks to which he has the opportunity to get in touch with modern and contemporary dance. After working in the Oltre Dance Company with the choreographer Macia Del Prete, in 2009 he participated as a competitor in the ninth edition of the talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi, on Canale 5, being eliminated in the semifinals and finishing first among the dancers. He wins a contract with Complexions Contemporary Ballet which allows him to take part in a tour that takes him to New Zealand, Australia and Hawaii.

Since 2010 he has been back to Amici di Maria De Filippi, this time as a professional dancer. Meanwhile, he works as a dance teacher and choreographer. In 2011, in Luciano Cannito's ballet Cassandra, she played the role of Aeneas alongside Rossella Brescia. In 2015 De Martino became a supporter and host of Amici di Maria De Filippi's daytime. In the same year, he is one of the protagonists of Pequeños gigantes, a program hosted by Belén Rodríguez aired at the beginning of 2016 on Canale 5, captaining the Gli incredibili team. Starting from 2016 he joined the cast of Selfie - Le cose cambiano, conducted by Simona Ventura on Canale 5, in which he is one of the mentors.[1]
