Danielle started with Jazz, Ballet and Hip Hop Dance Styles as a youth and Dance quickly became her passion. She had a job at The Minnesota Renaissance Festival as a kid and was immediately drawn to the beauty and vibrancy of Belly Dance. She started learning in 2006 and never stopped. She has a huge respect and admiration for the deep culture and rich history of the art. She also teaches Dance Fitness classes and loves utilizing Dance in different ways to have a positive impact on others. Danielle joined Barátok (previously a different name) in 2013 under the leadership of  its Founder Guinevere Lazarchic and found her Dance Family. Dancing is her favorite but when she's not doing that you can find her spending time with family and friends or any nearby dog.
