Jessica Romano said her dance studio has 21 competitive team dancers who will be “channeling” the Radio City Rockettes, as seen in the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. The Romano Acro Dance Academy will lead the first division for the parade. It makes me feel good, like in my heart, speaking with and donating toys to families.” “This year I got to talk to some of the local businesses, so that’s been my favorite part, getting to hear what they think about it,” she said. Lorey said Bella Romano was chosen as the grand marshall for this year’s parade because of the amount of work she did to help the toy drive.īella Romano, who attends the Mayfield Central School District, said it was during last year’s toy drive that she developed a passion for participating in the activity, seeing the effect it had on local children and families. “Our (Romano Acro Dance Academy studio building) actually houses the toys that we collect, and then we divide them out to all of our community children,” Jessica Romano said. Jessica Romano said each parade entry donated one new, unrapped toy to the toy drive. Bella Romano is the daughter of Jessica Romano, owner of the Romano Acro Dance Academy which for the last three years has been involved with the Salvation Army Toy Drive, one of the major partners of the parade. This year’s Gloversville Christmas Parade will feature its youngest-ever grand marshall, 12-year-old Bella Romano who will be walking at the head of the parde with newly elected Gloversville Mayor Vince DeSantis and Assemblyman Robert Smullen, R-Johnstown.
