As a professional dancer with experience performing in ballet companies, on Celebrity Cruises, and with the Utah Ballroom Dance Company, I hold a B.F.A. in Dance from The University of California - Irvine. With over a decade of teaching and coaching experience across the U.S., I have helped former students win national dance competitions in ballet, jazz, and song-pom, with some now performing professionally, including those as NFL cheerleaders. Additionally, I offer dance instruction and group classes for bridal parties and wedding dances, which can be found on Instagram profiles @FirstDanceNashville and @FirstDanceLexington.
Beyond dance, I also offer a mixture of Pilates, yoga, and ballet exercises through barre classes (certified in the BarreAmped method), as well as rebounder fitness classes, and dance-based workouts. With experience teaching students ranging from ages 3 to 88, I am passionate about helping others find joy in movement and fitness.
Whether it's in your living room, garage, or outdoors, I can bring customized workouts to your home, complete with a barre and music. Alternatively, we can pursue lessons in physical studios or even online. I am committed to discovering and implementing the best teaching methods for individuals and am thrilled to see students gain confidence with new dance moves and share their skills with friends and family.

Working with Dani was an amazing experience! She was incredibly responsive when I inquired about her availability and pricing information. With her promptness and exceptional professionalism, I couldn't have wished for a better instructor. Dani's enthusiasm for her craft, coupled with her skills, made the group dance lesson a memorable one. Everyone had a blast while learning a new dance.

Although it was a challenging move, enrolling in a dance class allowed me to break out of my comfort zone. Dani played an essential role in making me feel at ease and motivated. In addition to her vast dance background and expertise, she is a fantastic instructor. I strongly suggest her classes and will undoubtedly return!

As my daughter's wedding is approaching in just 3 months, I took the initiative to organize dancing lessons for both her and her father. Not only did they thoroughly enjoy the experience, but they now feel fully prepared to take center stage at the upcoming event!

One of Dani's classes was received by my girlfriend and I as a Christmas gift, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Despite my complete lack of dancing experience, she gave us both valuable tips and demonstrations, displaying exceptional teaching skills. Dani is definitely an excellent teacher, and we highly recommend her.

She is both professional and very personable. She took the initiative to inquire about my expectations for the dance lesson and guided me throughout. Additionally, she is accommodating when it comes to scheduling meetings.
