Rising Stars - Marina Micalizzi

May 2005 - Marina Micalizzi

Marina Micalizzi is a phenomenal dancer at only eleven years of age. She has attained numerous accolades for her talents and hard work. This year Marina has shown that she is serious about her goal of becoming a Superstar.

She is a dedicated dancer in all areas. Hip hop and jazz funk come easily to Marina, as proved by the awards for her Hip Hop dancing, including her solo, which won Top Score of the whole competition at the recent Dance Educators of America competition in San Diego. She was also the youngest recipient of the Monsters of Hip Hop Scholarship by Marty Kudelka.

Interpreting movements in jazz as choreographed by top choreographers such as Mia Michaels and Dee Caspary, is a precocious strength of this petite dancer who “dances like a senior”. She has won Ballet scholarships and Tap scholarships and numerous titles due to her grace and ease with all disciplines of dance. Marina learns choreography quickly, and is frequently chosen by the masters at workshops, conventions and competitions as an example of excellence and hard work. Marina is often commended for her professionalism and manners backstage as well. Marina is helpful to others and wants to be an inspiration for aspiring performers.
