About Us
  – The Company - a short history...

DKDance was initially established in response to the increasing demand for salsa classes and events across Northern Ireland, most notably in Derry and Belfast.
At this time Colm organised classes and events and was sub-contracted to provide services to clubs, schools, youth groups and community organisations - as well as parties, hen parties, corporate events and weddings - with Danielle providing support when and where possible as she concentrated on her studies at the University of Ulster.

During her time at University, Danielle developed her Contemporary Dance skills and technique as well as realising her love of Dance Education.  This desire to improve the teaching of Dance led her take a placement in Scotland with YDance, an education dance company under the direction of Andrew Howitt - a renowned choreographer and dancer.  Danielle used her time with the company actively providing dance to schools and youth groups - allowing her to develop her own programme of dance development for piloting here in Northern Ireland.  Her Dance in Schools Northern Ireland initiative now forms the core of DKDance's work.

Both Danielle and Colm have been dancing salsa for a number of years and have performed across Ireland, individually and in group displays. They are both regularly called upon to teach at weddings, corporate / club events, birthday parties and social events. They have a vast experience of teaching for a wide range of ages as well as those with varying physical and mental abilities.

We have recently taken on additional staff to meet the high demand for dance classes and are constantly reviewing our provision on a annual basis.  Our additional staff have allowed DKDance to extend beyond Belfast and South Antrim to schools and groups as far as Coleraine and Ballycastle, Draperstown and Magherafelt, and also Banbridge and Newtownards - further enhancing our ability and promise to deliver dance to those who wish to take advantage of our services.
