During these difficult times, Igor Golovach & Alessandro Scalora decided to take the time to unite people from all over the world of the beauty DanceSport industry. Instructors, choreographers, and dancers alike joined us to share their thoughts on staying strong and positive during this worldwide epidemic, sharing their advice on fighting on and not losing hope, sending their messages of support and aspiration. Thus, the project of "Stay United" was formed. This video features Giacomo Steccaglia! Giacomo is a former 4-time Italian Professional Latin Champion as well as a finalist of the Professional Latin European and World Championships with partner and wife Melissa Dexter. Now the DanceSport VP of USA Dance (the United States member of WDSF), Giacomo also owns his own dance studio located in Carlsbad, CA - Dancessense Studios. Giacomo Steccaglia was raised in the small Northern Italian town of Arcola, which was calculated to have a population of about 100. The young boy excelled at sports including soccer, track & field, and swimming. At age 14, however, he chose to pursue dancing. Three months later, Giacomo won the first of his 5 National Amateur Championships and went on to represent Italy at both the European and World Championships. As a young competitor, Giacomo was the Italian Junior Latin and Ballroom Champion, the Italian Youth Latin and Ballroom Champion, and the Italian Open Amateur Latin Champion. Attending the Blackpool Dance Festival, Giacomo was “mesmerized by a gorgeous girl in white from America, wishing with all his heart to dance with somebody like her." That beautiful talent was the one and only Melissa Dexter. After marrying Melissa, Giacomo turned Professional, and together, the newlywed couple won four Italian Professional Championships, became the Italian Showdance Latin Champions, the 2-time Vice South American Showdance Champions, as well as Imperial, All England, and Universal Champions. Giacomo and Melissa also placed second in the "World Professional Masters Championship" and were finalists in the European and World Latin American Dance Championships.
