INSTRUCTOR

     Danielle has come from a long line of dancers. She started dancing at Premiere Dance Academy when she was two and a half years old and has never looked back. Through her many years at Premiere she took advantage of the student teacher program and volunteered over 300 hours guiding and assisting all ages and abilities. She was also a part of the competition team since she was 11 years old. During that time, she won many awards that included; Dancer Of The Year and the Story Teller Award. Danielle had the awesome opportunity to study under amazing dancers, including Allison Holker and Megan Sannett, to name a few. Danielle wanted to dance whenever she got the chance! She got the opportunity to audition for the varsity dance team at Cloverhill High School, and she jumped at the chance.  She was on the sidelines every Friday night all four years. 

     Danielle graduated from Southside College of Health Sciences with a degree in Diagnostic Medical Sonography. She is currently a cardiac sonographer at Southside Medical Center in Petersburg.

     Danielle has been teaching dance as an instructor at Premiere Dance Academy since 2020. She has taught many genres, including ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, hip-hop, and acro. She has also been choreographing for our competition team for the past two years. Danielle has a passion for learning new things and loves exploring new avenues to connect with dancers. She is certified through Acrobatic Arts (AcroDance Preschool).

     Danielle is known for her warm spirit and bubbly personality! It is very important to her to cultivate a positive environment that brings both curiosity and ambition into the classroom. She loves helping her students articulate and accomplish their goals inside and outside of the studio!
