We are so proud to have been a part of the arts community of Ocean County for over four decades! As one of the longest running arts centers in the area, it truly has been a pleasure and an honor to bring the joy of dance to the lives of thousands of men, women, and children. Here at Denise Daniele Dance Center we pride ourselves in providing only the highest quality of performing arts education available with a warm and creatively rich environment.
Our faculty consists of dance educators with extensive training and experience both in performance and dance education. Our teachers have worked in every avenue of the performing arts including Wicked the Musical on Broadway, Miami City Ballet, Moscow City Ballet, Radio City Rockettes, So You Think You Can Dance and numerous television, movies, and at college programs across the country.
But with as many credits as our teachers and alumni can boast, the school remains a humble community with one goal; to share the joy of performance with those that come through its doors!

Formally called Denise Daniele Dance Studio, Denise Daniele Dance Center was established in 1975, fulfilling a lifelong dream of Denise Blackstone to share her passion for dance with young students at the Jersey shore.
Having received a teaching degree in New York, she was overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response from the community when she opened the doors at 780 Burnt Tavern Rd.
All through the early years of the new studio Denise continued to take classes in New York, studying with such inspirational teachers as Charles Kelly, Frank Hatchett, Don Farnworth, Germaine Salsberg, Finis Yhung, Celia Marino, and many others.

YES! Directly after the show, any dancer ages 5+ is invited to join us for our winter party!
We will be learning dances in class.
If your child chooses to not participate, no worries!
They'll still learn the dance as a fun class dance, so they won't feel like they're missing out.
We will not be asking you to pay for costumes.
Any costume will be something your dancer already owns or a costume we have at the studio.

Our classes help toddlers develop memory skills, musicality, and foster connections with the teachers and students!
As each dancer interacts more in class, they will begin to learn how to trust the teacher, their parent, and themselves!
With trust, comes relaxation, allowing them to excel in class and boost social skills, gross and fine motor skills, and sequencing.
Our goal is that each toddler experiences growth in their self confidence, individual personality, and develops a love for dance!
