About us
DLDC
Danni Laura Dance Studio is a new dance company open to young children looking for fun, beginner dance classes, no experience needed! DLDS is opening in September 2024 and currently only holds a few classes on a Saturday morning, but is looking to expand on styles and ages as the company grows.
Danni is the founder and currently the only staff member of DLDS. She has been dancing since she was 12 years old and teaching since 18. She completed dance as a GCSE, BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma and BA Hons Degree. She is hoping to inspire young children with her experience and knowledge.
