In summer 2004, during Campus-Ida stage in Ravenna, she received the scholarship for "Dance Professional" after her gaining the Diploma as modern-jazz dance teacher.
From 1998 to 2000 Valentina Benedetti danced in "Lelastiko" contemporary club run and choreographed by Marina Rossi. Well knowing the importance of production work for theatrical performance set, in 2009 she attended the Course of "Illuminating engineering" for theatre technician in Trento at S. Marco Theatre.
She has been a freelance teacher of contemporary modern dance since 2000 for many schools and a choreographer for contests, festivals and other events.

Her talent has been recognized by great teachers, such as:
The teacher Giuseppe Carbone has selected her for many coreographic festivals in Saronno, Milan, Belluno and Mantua.
In 2005 the teacher and ballet dancer Raffaele Paganini asked for her presence at the opening of his performance in Brescia.
The critic Alberto Testa has given her even two prizes during the coreographic contest "Settimana internazionale della danza citta' di Spoleto" (Dance international week - Spoleto).
The coreographer and artistic director Ismaele Ivo ("Biennale Danza") has chosen a work of hers for the choreographic project Choreographic Collision 3 -Arsenale Theatre- Venice.

Valentina Benedetti loves first of all creating and her choreographies have received many different prizes and have gained the audience and crictic approval both in Italy and abroad.
In her teaching work, the study of modern and contemporary dance is mixed with deep and careful yoga technique, which has been possible thanks to her individual practice and to her professional interest for this discipline.
During the choreographic time she does believe in the importance of the analysis the dancer has to perform about the following elements: time, space, movement, dynamcs, weight, perception and sensation.
These elements are considered fundamental in order to avoid a choreographic scene, being forgot and abandoned, to become a simple execution of movement sequences.
