Dani, Assistant DirectorWith a background in early childhood education, Dani truly understands the link between movement and learning for students of all ages. A life long love of dance led her to explore other avenues of movement including yoga and group fitness. While working as a traditional preschool teacher, Dani observed the strong connection between body and brain as children develop and felt most fulfilled leading her students through yoga, movement and music activities. Her favorite part of teaching is watching students develop a sense of confidence in themselves and their own abilities.
