Welcome, Elena D’Amario!
We are excited to announce that former Parsons’ dancer Elena D’Amario has joined our Board of Directors. Born in Pescara, Italy, Elena studied modern, ballet, contemporary and tap before coming to New York in 2010 to serve as a Parsons Dance apprentice. She went on to become a full-time company member from 2011-2019 and then returned to Italy, where she is a major television personality on Amici di Maria De Filippi, the celebrated show featuring singing and dance competitions, and a mentor to countless dance students. Throughout it all, she has continued to demonstrate her devotion to Parsons Dance. Elena has contributed much to the success of our Italian tours, following her tenure with the company. She has performed with us, and she has widened our audience by promoting us to her many fans. “Elena is an inspiration to me.” David declares. She is a very important artist in Italy, and I am thrilled that she's filling a larger role in the Parsons family.”
Thanks deeply, Elena, for taking this next step with us.
