Danielle started dancing in 1987 at the age of 4, taking lessons in jazz and twirling the baton. That quickly progressed into cheerleading, which was a serious hobby until she discovered her love of gymnastics when she was 8. Daniella continued to cheer when she had time off from her rigorous schedule of gymnastics practices and competitions.

 

At the age of 11, Daniella decided that gymnastics wasn’t her calling and became an assistant coach of an even younger girls’ cheerleading squad. She was the main choreographer of most of their squad dances. She worked with them for two football seasons, before her high school studies took up too much of her time to help with the squad anymore.

 

Danielle discovered belly dance in 2001 at the age of 18. She was looking for a great way to stay in shape that would also be easy on the body. Belly dance turned out to be the perfect thing. An online search of teachers in the area led Danielle to Daria, and she has been a member of Daria’s troupe, Mystic Mirage, ever since.

 

Danielle’s style is cabaret -- mostly Turkish fused with Egyptian and modern dance. She often dances with canes, veil, or zills, and occasionally with fans or a sword.
