Dannii began dancing, singing, and acting at the age of two-and-a-half and quickly fell in love with performing. At 18, she moved to London to train at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, graduating with a First-Class BA (Hons) degree in Musical Theatre.
Alongside her teaching, Dannii has worked extensively as a professional performer and choreographer. Her theatre and commercial credits include Jordan Hill Show (dancer), Jack and the Beanstalk 2021 & 2023 – dance captain/dancer and Nightshade), Fireman Sam Live UK Tour (dancer/assistant choreographer), Rocketman (motion picture), Hue Leggings (commercial), and Queen B: The Beyoncé Experience (lead dancer/choreographer). She also regularly choreographs for Richard Huish College, with productions including Our House (2023), Bonnie & Clyde (2024), and The Wiz (2025).
In 2020, Dannii founded Inspire in Weston-super-Mare. Five years on, she is incredibly proud of how it has grown into a thriving creative community. She is passionate about nurturing young performers, creating an inclusive, supportive environment where students of all ages can build their confidence, develop their skills, and shine both on and off the stage.
Dannii says: “Nothing makes me prouder than seeing our students’ confidence and talent grow. I feel so lucky to share my passion for theatre and dance every single day — Inspire truly is a dream come true.”
