FUN FLASHBACK (Especially for SYTYCD Fans)!!



1997 was a very good year for New York City Dance Alliance! In '97, A young Randi Lynn Strong (Randi Evans, now a top 20 finalist on the hit show 'So You Think You Can Dance'!) was our 1997 NYCDA National Female Junior Outstanding Dancer! She was in good company! Nick Lazzarrini (SYTYCD's Season 1 winner!) was her counterpart as the 1997 NYCDA National Male Junior Outstanding Dancer! That same year, Danny Tidwell (SYTYCD's Season 3 1st Runner Up!) was 1st Runner-up to Nick, with Travis Wall (Season 2 1st Runner Up!) in the wings! We've truly watched them all grow up! (Above right: Randi, posed with Joe and prima ballerina Leslie Browne.)
