Alessandra & her troop have worked along side our troop at performances that we have given in NJ. Our troop is D'Italia and my 9 year old (at the time) son LOVED learning the Tarantella from her and learning how to play the tambourine. She is a terrific person and to keep this unique tradition going is wonderful. My children LOVE performing and they like it more when Alessandra and her troop come to perform with our shows.
