Danielle began her dance journey at the age of two in Fresno, California, where she trained extensively in various dance styles before focusing exclusively on classical ballet. She performed principal roles in Central California Ballet productions, including Clara and the Snow Queen in The Nutcracker, as well as notable roles in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Beauty and the Beast, and La Bayadère. Danielle received instruction from renowned principals and guest artists from companies such as Oakland Ballet and Smuin Ballet, and furthered her training at the prestigious San Francisco Ballet Summer Academy.

While attending UC Berkeley, Danielle served as co-captain of the dance team and was an active member of the Cal student choreography club. She later earned her Juris Doctorate from the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law, and now works full-time in Human Resources while being a mother of two.

Despite her professional commitments, Danielle remains deeply passionate about dance. She is committed to the value that classical ballet brings to students, fostering discipline, creativity, and self-expression. She continues to support the dance community and is dedicated to promoting the art and structure of classical ballet at The Dance Studio of Fresno.
