Center Stage with Alyssa Portillo

Meet Alyssa Portillo!

In our sixth edition of Avant Garde Theatre of Dance's Center Stage, we present to you Miss Alyssa Portillo.

Alyssa is a competitive dancer in the Apprentice Program here at Avant Garde Theatre of Dance. This second grader is so sweet and such hard worker. She currently takes Intermediate Ballet 2 days per week, Intermediate Contemporary 1 day, and Intermediate Jazz 1 day per week. 

"She is always happy, an extremely hard worker, and she is definitely a very bright young dancer," says Miss Sarah.

Alyssa is a Blogger.  Her mom told us “she loves to make random videos and even TikToks.  You can always find here recording everything!” When we asked what her favorite class was at Avant Garde Theatre of Dance, without hesitation she said, "Jazz…. I LOVE the jazz walk!!!"

We asked Alyssa, "What is it about Avant Garde that you love?" She excitedly answered, "Because I love to dance, and always have so much fun." 

When we asked Alyssa if she was excited to be in the competitive program, she immediately responded, "Yea….I am so excited!" So we had to know, what is it that excites Miss Alyssa the most and she told us "Being on stage and winning!!"

Alyssa has some friends at Avant Garde Theatre of Dance that attend other classes and are also on the Apprentice Team. 

We asked, what she truly thought about Miss Sarah and she said "I think Miss Sarah is very nice!"

So, I think it is pretty obvious that Miss Alyssa will be working very hard in the Apprentice Program.  

In fact she told us, “I am going to practice SOOOO hard!!”
