ANNE PARICHON-BUONCORE

​

My name is Anne Parichon-Buoncore. I was born and raised in France, where I discovered my love for dance at an early age. I studied under Polish instructor Karina Vlaneska at a local ballet conservatory near Paris, France.

​

After high school, I began exploring different styles of dance. I entered the Academie Internationale de Danse in Paris on scholarship, where I graduated in Ballet, Modern, and Jazz Dance with an additional focus in Street Dance. I then moved to New York City to study at the Martha Graham School’s Independent Program. During this time, I obtained a scholarship from Jennifer Muller/The Works.

​

I have worked professionally with Allan McCormick, Antonello Tudisco, Carrie Ahern, Charlotte Colmant, Dances by Isadora/Catherine Gallant (Battery Dance Festival 2023), Henry Holmes, JENNIFERCHINdance, and Variety Pack Collective. I am a current company member with Dances by Isadora, Moving Visions and Dance Visions NY. I am a recipient of the 2021 Global Shorts Special Mention Award for my dance video, “Blur In Perception" and a Quarter Finalist in the 2022 Serbest International Film Festival. Recently, I have choreographed for indie singer Roxiny's music video titled Rituals produced by Grammy award winner Little Shalimar released in October 2024.

​

In addition to performing, I have over ten years of experience teaching dance. I have developed my own technique in sharing dance with movers of all ages and abilities. I have taught Hip Hop, Modern, Zumba, and Floor Barre at Move On Dance Center and Performing Center Austria in Vienna, Austria.

I served as a Teaching Artist for Dancewave, where I taught Hip Hop and Afro-Caribbean Dance. My classes are part of Dancewave’s community programs, which offer dance classes throughout New York City’s public-school system. I have had the opportunity to teach and choreograph in many schools throughout Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and the Bronx. 

​

Beyond performing and teaching, I am also passionate about creating dance works. I am the founder and artistic director of APDANCE Inc., where I created twenty-five short dance works between 2020-2021. In 2022, I presented my first live, evening-length dance performance titled “All Truths Pure” at the Holy Trinity Church in New York, NY. I performed a Work-in-Progress solo piece, “Runaway Dance,” in March 2023 as part of Spark Theatre Festival in Manhattan. I presented "Ways To Recover" at Kat Wildish Presents in November 2023 and in May-June 2024 at Gibney Theater (final version) as part of Moving Visions Dance event. Finally, I presented "Blur In Perception Remix" for Bloc dance festival on November 2 at Dixon Place.

​

APDANCE  has also allowed me to cultivate my passion for teaching. I, recently, founded APDANCE in Schools as part of the DOE vendor license program, I am able to offer dance programs in NYC public schools. Through performance, teaching and choreography, I strive to share my love of dance with others.
