Danielle began her adventures with fire dancing during an extended trip to Roatan, Honduras in 2004. Between learning to scuba dive and being a professional beach bum, she and a friend learned the art from a local fire dancer and friend. After moving to Dubai, United Arab Emirates in 2006, Danielle used her spare time to join with four friends and create FireStorm, a fire troupe specializing in fire and LED performance. FireStorm performed at private and corporate events, hotel launches, nightclubs, desert safaris, concerts, and festivals in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the Maldives.
Since returning to the United States in late 2010, Danielle has focused on her career, her growing family, and other pursuits including volunteerism, yoga, and triathlon. She continued fire dancing for family and friends until 2015 when she began performing for weekly luaus at a local area resort. In 2017, Emerald Flame was created to provide fire performance and entertainment to the Emerald Coast of Florida.
