Danielle is a recent graduate of the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana with a degree in Philosophy and a concentration in Dance. She also attended the University of Tampa for two years where she was given the amazing opportunity to choreograph and perform multiple times each semester for the exciting Dance Happenings, and Faculty concerts. She also volunteered at the Phillip Art School in Tampa, choreographed and performed for an event hosted by the President of the University and earned two prestigious awards: Dancer on the move (2004), and the Leadership award for dance (2005). Transferring to the University of Illinois strengthened her training and encouraged her to use dance to share a message about the tragedy occurring in Darfur. In 2006, she founded an on campus dance company called "DARforPEACE", which raised money that was donated to Genocide Intervention Network. In the summer of 2005 she also attended Parson's summer intensive, where she worked with David Parsons and company members. Prior to college, her eclectic training included Salt Creek Ballet, Lou Conte Studio, Joel Hall, and Dance 4 All. Her training includes Modern, Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, and Musical Theatre. She looks forward to beginning her career as a performer!
