After earning his Associate’s degree from Monroe Community College, Danny enrolled at SUNY Brockport before taking a hiatus from academia to train as a professional dancer. This path led him to Salt Lake City, Utah, where he performed with Salt Contemporary Dance during their 2014–2015 season.

In 2007 I made a drastic decision to follow my passion for dance all the way to Toronto Canada where I was offered a teaching and management position at Arthur Murray Dance Studio. This move completely changed my life, I got to meet so many incredible dancers, coaches, choreographers and students. I traveled around the world with the company, dancing and competing, allowing me to meet some of my closest friends I have today! In 2013 I met my husband and eventually making the move to Rochester in 2015 where we tide the knot! After having our daughter in 2017, I took a break from dancing to focus on my family and continue my other passion - photography! I’m so excited to be apart of the Katie Elizabeth studio and dance family! I look forward to teaching new faces and making new friends :)

Testimonials
– KayleeKaylee started dancing at KE with a ballet class and almost immediately I saw my shy, reserved self start to come out of her shell.
Over the years Kaylee fell in love with all the dance styles offered and has continued to grow, not only in her dancing skills but more importantly her confidence and belief in herself has soared.
Katie and the other instructors provide Kaylee a safe place for her to be herself, while creating a community of dancers who truly care and look out for one another.
From a single ballet class, to dance camps, recitals and now competitions, Kaylee continues to grow and I couldn't be more proud. KE Dance has become a second home for us and I am so grateful to be part of this amazing and compassionate community.
Dancer at KE Dance 2019 – Now
– QuinnQuinn has been a part of the KE Dance community since summer of 2021. What started as a week long summer camp, blossomed into years filled with friendship, dancing, and personal growth. KE Dance has provided a safe and supportive space where Quinn always feels welcomed.
She's greeted with kindness, patience, and encouragement. Overtime, she has grown not just as a dancer, but as a person, gaining self-esteem, independence, and a true sense of belonging.
KE Dance has provided Quinn the ability to explore a variety of dance techniques and styles as well as develop musical theater skills, her favorite. The flexibility that the studio offers has allowed her to choose the classes that she's interested in.
One of her favorite experiences with KE Dance, was when she was offered the opportunity to take dance classes at Broadway Dance Center in NYC and see Wicked on Broadway with all of her dance studio friends and instructors.
We are so grateful to Miss Katie and KE Dance for creating such a warm, flexible, and empowering environment where kids like Quinn, can truly thrive.
Dancer at KE Dance 2021 – Now
– MiaMia has been dancing since she was just 3 years old, and over the past year at Katie's, she has truly thrived. She's embraced everything from basic acro and dance to gymnastics too. It has been such a joy to watch her confidence and ability grow.
One of the things I love most is the beautiful friendships Mia has found. These girls have become her besties, and they genuinely look forward to dancing together each week. The bond they've built is something really special.
Katie's isn't just a dance studio—it's a community. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and inclusive, not just for the dancers but for the parents as well.
Mia doesn't just enjoy her weekly classes—she lives for recital season. She counts down the days with excitement, absolutely loves being on stage, and lights up in those sparkly costumes.
We're so grateful for everything Katie has brought into our lives—it's so much more than just dance.
