Dyanna Daniels
founded Diva le Dance with Arthur J. Daniels in 2004. Since then she has made Diva le Dance her own and taken it in a new direction that now focuses more so on the Hip Hop aspect of the company. She is the Director and Head Choreographer of Diva le Dance. 

She began dancing in college for the Gwendolyn Brooks Cultural Center Dance Troupe and began choreographing in 2004. She was President of the Gwendolyn Brooks Cultural Center Dance Troupe from 2005-2007 and participated in the BET Spring Bling Revamped Competition in 2006. Her choreography to date has included the dance styles of Hip Hop, Lyrical, Spiritual and Jazz. She has taken a master class from Mia Michaels and auditioned for the hit show “So You Think You Can Dance”. She currently teaches Hip Hop and Jazz Dance at the Elmhurst Park District.

Dyanna is a true believer that many dance styles can be fused together to create amazing entertainment. Even with the focus of the company being on Hip Hop, she tries to incorporate other styles when possible to not limit Diva le Dance to any one style.
