Originally from Rome, Italy, Nicola Marino began his dance training at the age of 17. In 2002 he won the Italian Championship, Foligno, and performed in such theaters as Teatro Eliseo, Teatro Ambra Jovinelli, and Teatro Flaiano. In October 2005, he relocated to New York and began the International Student Visa Program at Steps On Broadway. He wants to thank Darcy Naganuma and all the company members for this wonderful opportunity.
