About Me

Dani Bathon has been dancing for over 36 years and teaching for over 20 years. Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Dani trained under some of the most influential choreographers such as Debbie Allen, Jackie Sleight, Liz Imperio, Ryan and Tina Cyphert, Mark Goodman, and Gil Stroming, to name a few. She traveled the country assisting for West Coast Dance Explosion, L.A. Dance Magic, and L.A. Underground, as well as performing with several dance companies. After high school, Dani attended Lindenwood University, where she graduated, with honors, with a double major in Dance and Fine Arts Management. While in college, she choreographed, performed, and produced industrial shows for Paul Mitchell’s Black and White Ball and Paul Mitchell’s Night at the Circus Ball.

As a teacher and choreographer, Dani has led her students to several top-scoring routines, scholarships to very prestigious dance companies and universities, as well as receiving numerous choreography awards, including overall top choreography at national finals events.

In order to be a great educator, you must never stop educating yourself, so Dani continues her training and never stops learning. She only wishes to continue dancing and educating young dancers.
