Tween vocalist Alessandra Guercio is ready for her close up. A Brooklyn-bred girl with a big heart and even bigger smile has huge dreams of wowing the world with her bright, full-of-life voice.

When shešs not singing and perfecting her skills as a dancer, Alessandra spends time with her friends, hanging out at Coney Island or ice skating at the local sports and recreation center, the Aviator. School is also important to Alessandra, for keeping straight-As is a top priority.

Congratulations Stefanie Guercio!

 

We would like to congratulate Stefanie Guercio from our Elite Company team for her outstanding performance during the 2007 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.  We are very proud of you.  Keep up the great work.
