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.
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.
Creative Movement is our intro class for all little ones ready to take their first steps into the dance world. Students are introduced to dance elements and movement fundamentals. Children will work on basic technique, body control, listening skills, balance, and coordination. Ballet is a form of dancing which may tell a story, express a mood, or just reflect a piece of music.
Experience the joy of dance alongside your child! 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.
City Lights Dance Ensemble is a performance based company focused on extending their dance education. CLDE classes are structured by a written curriculum that is broken down into four groups- Nova, Orion, Cygnus & Phoenix. Our company members have performed at numerous competitions, local benefits, and volunteer performances at senior centers.

I’ve been dancing at this studio since I was in 6th grade and I’ve loved every moment of it. The people there are like a second family to me and it’s such a positive environment to be in. At Denise Daniele Dance Center I have not only grown as a dancer but I have grown as a person thanks to the positive influence of my teachers and mentors.
