MY STORY

Daniella was born and raised in New Jersey. Both of her grandparents immigrated from Italy to live the American dream, which served as a driving force to pursue her own big aspirations. Although New Jersey was full of Italian traditions and homemade pasta, she found herself called to New York City.

 

At the age of 3, she was seen consistently walking on her tip toes. Her Nonno said "she's a ballerina" and was immediately enrolled in ballet classes. She received extensive training at American Reparatory Ballet School, which led to her current training in Vaganova and assisting her mentor Natalya Stavro at Broadway Dance Center. Growing up, her aspirations of becoming a ballerina shifted the moment the beginning orchestrations of Chicago on Broadway began playing. The razzle dazzle of it all introduced her to a new world that her heart was thirsty for. Initially coming from a ballet background has since given her a beautiful foundation within her theater opportunities.

 

​She gained a bachelor's degree at The College of New Jersey, where she graduated with honors in Clinical Psychology (totally opposite right? I always say it prepared me for good character development).

 

When not performing, Daniella can be seen reading any Jane Austen novel, baking chocolate chip cookies --- my own recipe, singing Disney princess songs, and being the best dog mom to her beloved Chihuahua.
