Rose Marie Troiani

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our beloved founder, teacher, mentor, and friend, Rose Marie Troiani
Rose was the heart behind On Stage Dance Academy, a studio she built with love, discipline, creativity, and a deep belief that dance could shape not only strong performers, but strong people.
Through the years, she touched the lives of countless dancers, families, teachers, and friends — creating a place where generations could learn, grow, perform, and feel at home.
Her legacy lives on in every dancer who found confidence on stage, every family who walked through our doors, every recital memory, and every lesson taught with love. On Stage Dance Academy will forever carry her spirit, her passion, and her dedication to the art of dance.
We are deeply grateful for the beautiful life she shared with us and the lasting mark she left on our studio family.
Rest peacefully, Rose
