Dani Mann is 17 years old and currently is attending Mizzou's School of Music for vocal and piano performance. Although she has a deep love for both these art forms, dance has always been her greatest passion. At age 2 she began her studies in her living room, watching sing alongs and listening to country western music. A year later she moved on to more traditional studies at Halcyone Ewalt Perlman school of dance. There she took lessons in ballet for 13 years and in Modern for 2. Her most recent choreography endeavors have included works in PACE's productions of THE JELLYBEAN CONSPIRACY, BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA, and PETER PAN. Through these experiences, Dani has discovered that the only thing greater than performing dance, is sharing dance and watching young people blossom in it.
