I have been teaching dance for over 15 years throughout the Bay Area. Please see my Facebook page Dance with Danielle for current scheduling info.

The process for working with a student will depend upon individual needs. We will discuss what the goals are in regards to technique or choreographic needs and work from there!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been studying dance since I was a young child. I spent most of my young dance career in the competition circuit. I started teaching ballet at the age of 16. I have taken classes all over the Bay Area and out of state as weel. I am continuously working to improve my knowledge of movement and technique.

How did you get started teaching?

I have worked with students as young as 2 all the way through adults.
