Tony Award-Winning Choreographer of "In the Heights" and "9 to 5" On Broadway
"As a Broadway choreographer, I have the unbelievable opportunity to touch people's lives through my artistry. That gift comes with it the responsibility to craft my work out of honesty, passion and heart. Through those elements, people's lives are changed. At the Denise Daniele Dance Studios, like the school where I was so fortunate to study, those elements are planted like little seeds in the kids who dance there. Denise Blackstone is my friend and has my admiration because through her, dancing can grow to unbelievable places...like winning a Tony Award! "
AC Ciulla,
Emmy Award Winning and Tony Nominated Choreographer of "Footloose" On Broadway
"Denise Daniele is the place where you can become the dancer you dream of being! In a supportive environment these teachers will take you closer to your dreams! I have hired amazing dancers from this studio in the past and I will continue to in the future."
Beth Woods, "Radio City Rockette" and Denise Daniele Alumni
"It's so wonderful to have a professional studio like this right here in Ocean County. Denise's expertise in tap enabled me to pass my Rockette audition. She and Richard truly love the art of dance. I'm proud to be their former student and current guest teacher."
Kathleen Cassidy Holevinski, "Grandma"
"I've watched my grandchildren develop into accomplished performers due to the training, inspiration, and dedication of the Denise Daniele staff. What makes Denise Daniele special? Many things, but chief among them is the philosophy of the school. In addition to teaching fundamental techniques of dance and musical theatre, Denise Daniele offers an outstanding creative environment. The entire faculty and staff is dedicated to the love of performing arts. They not only develop students to be performers today, but provide them with the skills, discipline, and enduring memories that will last a lifetime."
