There have been two constants in Danielle’s life: dance and teaching. Her dance journey started much like the dancers at On Stage; at a very young age, she took her first dance class at her local dance studio and did not look back! Soon, her evenings were spent at the studio, and her weekends at performances or competitions, loving every minute of it!

Danielle attended York University, earning both a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in dance. During this time, she was introduced to modern and contemporary dance, studying with artists who were pivotal in shaping the contemporary dance scene in Canada. Danielle continues to seek out opportunities to extend her own learning in dance through numerous classes, workshops, and conventions, growing as both an artist and an educator.

With over twenty-five years of experience as a public educator, Danielle has taught dance to students from kindergarten through grade twelve. She is passionate about the value of dance education in schools and is a dedicated advocate for making the art form accessible to all students.

At On Stage, Danielle challenges students to move in new ways and celebrates with them as they achieve their goals. She loves bringing her artistic vision to life on stage through her students, with her choreographic works earning accolades for innovation and storytelling. Danielle is committed to creating an inclusive and supportive environment for all students and feels privileged to be part of their dance journey.
