Meet our Teachers

Miss Danielle is the owner, creative director, and lead instructor of The Bay Dance Company. A lifelong dancer with a passion for teaching, she continued her dance journey as a member of her college dance team before beginning her teaching career at a dance studio in Jacksonville, Florida. Since then, she has coached several dance teams and has worked with dancers of all ages and experience levels.

Miss Danielle is trained in and teaches a wide variety of styles, including ballet, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop, acrobatics, and competitive dance. She is especially passionate about acro instruction, helping dancers develop strength, flexibility, proper technique, confidence, and advanced skills in a safe and encouraging environment. Her teaching style combines strong technical training with creativity, discipline, and a genuine love for helping every dancer reach their fullest potential.  

After years of teaching and coaching in Brevard, Miss Danielle brought her vision for a welcoming, high-quality dance studio to life. The Bay Dance Company opened in October 2022 with a mission to serve children and families throughout the Palm Bay community. Since opening its doors, The Bay has become a place where dancers can learn, grow, perform, compete, build lasting friendships, and feel like part of a family.

As a studio owner and instructor, Miss Danielle is involved in every part of her dancers’ development—from their first dance class to advanced training, auditions, competition preparation, performances, and recital experiences. She is committed to creating age-appropriate opportunities that challenge dancers while building their confidence, work ethic, artistry, musicality, and love of performing.

Miss Danielle takes great pride in watching her students accomplish goals they once believed were out of reach. Her greatest purpose as a teacher is not only to develop strong, versatile dancers, but also to help raise confident, hardworking, and compassionate young people. Through The Bay Dance Company, she continues to share her love of dance while creating a supportive home for dancers and families in the Palm Bay community.

Emma is excited to join The Bay Dance Company teaching ballet this year! She has over 20 years of dance experience and grew up dancing in Brevard County under multiple instructors and studios. Following high school Emma moved to Orlando to dance for Walt Disney World, as a parade dancer performing in offerings such as Mickeys Once Upon a Christmas Time Parade and The Boo to You Halloween Parade. She was also a member of the opening cast of SeaWorlds Sesame Street Party Parade while performing year round and has worked with dozens of live event companies as a backup dancer and entertainer for corporate events and live music performances.
