Danielle Black
I started dancing at Center Stage Dance Company when I was 3 years old, and upon graduating high school have been lucky enough to begin my teaching career there also. I danced at the collegiate level as part of Oakland University’s Athletic Dance team, and professionally as part of the Detroit Tiger’s DTE Energy Squad. This will be my 3rd year as part of the Dance North faculty! As for now, my dance journey is still in progress, and I’m excited to see where it takes me!
