Hey! I’m Danielle — creator and owner of Free Spirit Movement.

​

I’ve been dancing since I was in the womb (seriously, ask my mom). I took my first official dance class at three years old- learning how to move with music had me hooked.

​

By age five, I had already begun my performance and competitive dance journey, spending the next ten years consistently winning first-place national titles and awards. Dance quickly became more than something I loved — it became my language, my outlet, and a passion that grew central to my life. 

​

After aging out of the competitive program at age 15, I stepped into teaching and coaching, leading dancers and cheer teams to national-winning titles of their own. Helping my students grow in confidence, expression, and their shared passion for movement has been one of my favorite parts of my career. 

​

Throughout college, I continued expanding my dance experience through adult league competitions, performance opportunities, collaborations with brands and musicians, creating with other choreographers, coaching, learning new styles, and running a macro-level movement-based social media platform. 

​

I completed my Master’s Degree and earned a Board Certified - Dance/Movement Therapist title, which deepened my understanding of the connections among movement, emotion, healing, and the body. The blend of dance, choreography, mentorship, creativity, and therapeutic movement is the heart of Free Spirit Movement.​ 

 

My goal has always been to create a space where people feel comfortable exploring movement, embracing full expression, and having fun while reconnecting with themselves and others — without pressure, judgment, or worrying about perfection.

​​

Today, my focus is bringing the beauty of dance to people through wedding choreography, special events, date nights, and lessons designed to help dancers of all levels learn, grow, and have fun. I also remain active in the competitive dance world as a judge and instructor, traveling to conventions and competitions to help dancers refine their technique, build confidence, and reach their full potential.

​

When I’m not dancing, you can find me chasing after my little one. As a single mom and small business owner, every lesson I teach and every event I host helps me create a beautiful life for my little family — and I'm incredibly grateful to every person who chooses to support Free Spirit Movement. 

​

If you made it this far, just send me a quick message, and we will get you in the books! I look forward to working with you.
