The 26-member Competition Team of the Hannah Kroner School of Dance in Albertson competed in three regional competitions—two on Long Island and one in Queens—consisting of junior- and senior-team students, and included eight-group routines, seven soloists and a production number performed by all the participants.
Company Team members include Great Neck’s Eden Harel, Sofia Arriaga, Carrie Byrne, Olivia Connors, Mary Dicanio, Emily Edwards, Nicole Farishian, Julia Feron, Julia Gabriel, Julia Giordano, Kaylee Kolomer, Kendall Krasinski, Kassie Kueffner, Andrea Laisure, Brigid Lynn, Emily Marotta, Christina Massetti, Lauren Muniz, Lauren O’Hara, Gabrielle Orthos, Nike Oshodi, Emma Parente, Samantha Pugliese, Sarah Ruane, Grace Sweeney and Grace Taylor.
Four team girls will be graduating and entering college this year, including Edwards and Lynn, who received scholarships to choice colleges in dance.
Olivia Leinwohl, Shannon McGuinness and Samantha Witt, teachers and choreographers at the dance school; Carol Riley, the school’s director; and the entire staff are so proud of all the talented and dedicated students and their committed families for the wonderful competition season.
