Giampiero Giannico

Overview

Giampiero represented the United States in the World Championships, placing in the final and was also a semifinalist in all major competitions all over the globe. He was invited to perform, teach and lecture in Japan, China, Russia and all over Europe.

Giampiero retired from competitive dancing after concluding his partnership with Anastasia Muravyova.
