NYCDA FEATURED DANCER OF THE WEEK

NYCDA is pleased to present our very first FEATURED DANCER OF THE WEEK!

ALEXA SANNIOLA of BAYONNE, NJ

Alexa was nominated by fellow dancer Melanie because “Alexa would do anything to dance, she is very committed and puts a lot of effort into her dancing.” However, it is clear that Alexa is committed to being a well-rounded person as well! She is an honor student at Bayonne High School. She makes a lot of people laugh with her great sense of humor. And she recently danced the Arabian Variation in The Nutcracker. When asked why Melanie looks up to Alexa she said, “I look up to her because she is a very skilled dancer. She is well rounded and she does her best at everything she does. She never gives up and always keeps trying." Alexa has clearly made an impact, not only on Melanie, but also on some of the other dancers at her studio, Ms. Huguette’s Dance Studio. “A lot of people at the studio look up to her as a dancer and a person. Because of her great technique and the way she shows how she feels when she is dancing, she is amazing to watch and she draws you in.”



We think Alexa is pretty cool! Hope you do too! Know a person or three people or twenty people who deserve a shout out? Email us and tell us about them! This is an ongoing honor and we are always accepting nominations. At the end of the season YOU will get to vote for your favorite featured dancer of the week and they will be the first NYCDA Featured Dancer of the Year. BE SURE to get us those nominations!

awwww. If this was posted by melanie, thats so sweet. I am a dancer at Ms. Huguettes Dance Studio and I look up to Alexa more than any other older dancer in that studio. She is a great dancer not only in lyrical but in everything she does. When she dances I basically get the chills. She has a presence that just lights up the stage. Her sister is the same way =]].
