Rising Star Nick Guarino Triumphs at NYCDA Baltimore Regionals

Baltimore, MD – The stage was set, the competition was fierce, and the stakes were high at the New York City Dance Alliance (NYCDA) Baltimore Regionals. Among the many talented dancers vying for top honors, one name stood out: Nick Guarino, whose passion and dedication to his craft propelled him to a remarkable victory.

Nick attended convention dance classes and participated in the highly competitive Outstanding Dancer (OD) audition in the Senior category. As one of four male finalists, he faced an elite group of dancers, many of whom have aspirations for professional dance careers. At the awards ceremony on Sunday afternoon, the anticipation reached its peak as Nick was crowned Senior Male OD for the Baltimore Regionals, marking a significant milestone in his dance journey.

"To say he and I are excited is an understatement!" shared Nick’s proud supporter. "I am so proud of, and happy for, him to achieve this honor his first time in the senior division!"

This victory is particularly momentous as it marks Nick’s first attempt in the Senior category. However, he is no stranger to success within NYCDA. Just last March, he secured the Teen OD title at NYCDA’s Buffalo Regionals on his third and final attempt in that division. In a truly remarkable feat, Nick has now won NYCDA’s OD titles across all four age divisions—Mini, Junior, Teen, and Senior—over the past six years, cementing his legacy as a standout competitor in the dance community.

With this latest triumph, Nick now sets his sights on NYCDA Nationals in New York City this July. There, he will compete for the prestigious National Senior Male OD Title and audition for college scholarship opportunities, further paving the way for his promising future in dance.

As the countdown to Nationals begins, Nick’s journey serves as an inspiring testament to perseverance, hard work, and an unwavering passion for the art of dance. The dance world will be eagerly watching as he takes his next steps toward greatness.
