Scatola’s background as a dancer, singer and actor, as well as a coach, director and choreographer positions him well for the role.

Some of his work is still featured in shows like Absinthe (Las Vegas) and Palazzo (Germany) and have been also featured in TV shows such as SYTYCD Convention, Britain’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent.

Steve Yaros,  Senior Vice President of Media and Global Communications at Feld Entertainment says, “We are delighted to have Giulio joining us in his new role, as he brings a tremendous amount of experience to our team.”
