We would like to congratulate Stefanie Guercio from our Jr. Elite Company team for her outstanding performance during the Danceamerica NYC Competition. Danceamerica Director Nancy Stone approached our staff to seek out who the "darling little girl" with all that personality & stage presence was in the Jr. Large Group Jazz entry "Hey Mickey". Mrs. Stone and the Danceamerica organization were so impressed with Stefanie's performance they nominated her for the "Most Promising Performance Award" in recognition of National Dance Week. We are so proud of Stefanie and her nomination. It is an honor to be selected out of an entire dance competition as an individual presenting excellence & an all-around incredible performance.

One of our students Alessandra Guercio made her National Television debut on PAX-TV's "America's Most Talented Kids". Alessandra (then 9 yrs. old) appeared on the October 31st episode singing Whitney Houston's "Greatest love of all." She amazed the judges with her vocal performance & went on to be the nights BIG WINNER.
Alessandra's incredible performance won her a spot as a finalist on the "Championship Episode of America's Most Talented Kids" which was televised on February 13th. Her rendition of Whitney Houston's "One Moment in Time" was breathtaking. The singing sensation (now 10) has been very busy. She recently opened up for "Michael Bolton", has been belting out the national anthem for the NY Knicks, NJ Nets & singing before the mayor and countless other city officials. She was also awarded a full 4-year scholarship to Fordham University by Rev. Joseph McShane, President of the university, after he heard her sing at a Future's in Education dinner.

Triple Essence was contacted by the Maury Povich Show. Her performance on the Maury Povich show aired Thursday, October 6th 2005 at 10:00am on the WB channel 11. She also performed live at the Miss I'dea Pageant, 3rd Avenue Festival & Relay for Life with her Triple Essence backup dancers. Miss Allison Noto (Award-Winning Choreographer & Owner of Triple Essence Dance Studio) is extremely proud to be Alessandra's choreographer.
Alessandra has been performing a variety of ballads & up-tempo songs including her televised appearance on Showtime at the Apollo. We are all very excited & look forward to upcoming performances.

Alessandra's parents support their daughter's dreams & career aspirations but they make sure she gets to be a "KID" too. She works her performance dates into her activities which include dance lessons at Triple Essence (where she is a member of our Award-Winning Petite Elite Performing Company), piano lessons, singing lessons and to top it off, she is also a "straight-A student". Alessandra is a wonderful dancer, astounding vocalist & the sweetest girl you will ever meet. She truly is an inspiration to the entire Triple Essence family. We are very excited for all that the future holds for her.
Great things are ahead for Alessandra Guercio so
REMEMBER THAT NAME!
