Danielle Quisenberry

Teaches at Studio Q'dance

Danielle's academic affiliations include The Alvin Ailey School, where she uses her dual disciplines of acting and dance to train the MFA candidates for The Actors Studio Drama School and the New York Film Academy where you will find her teaching Ballroom Dancing for the Camera in the country's very first degree granting program in  Musical Theatre Performance for Film. 

Her choreographic work has been recognized with a Helen Hayes nomination for best overall production of a musical and with a Papermill Playhouse nomination for choreography, representing her outstanding work with pre-professional performers on the stage. No stranger to professional performers either, she taught the stars and choreographed the Season 2 Finale for USA Network's hit show Royal Pains recently, dance directing for Emmy award winning director Constantine Makris.

Formerly the Director of Professional Development for The American Ballroom Theater Company’s Dancing Classroom’s Program, she is featured in the award-winning documentary Mad Hot Ballroom. Her  role in the organization reflected her skill in developing curriculum models and training teaching artists. Her academic interests now include the way in which recent advances in neuroscience effect teaching and learning in the arts and the exploration of novel ways to deliver arts content to adult learners. 

Danielle continues her own training in ballroom pedagogy and performance with her mentor, Three Time United States Ballroom Champion Sandra Cameron and our own John Squire of Studio Q' dance.
