Epic summer!

Dana spent the summer on an epic travel journey, starting in Canada and Alaska before heading to Iceland and Norway! She saw glaciers in 3 countries, hiked a glacier, kayaked in a fjord, sauna’d and dipped in Arctic waters, saw volcanos from horseback, walked in a lava tube, ate amazing food, marveled at stave churches, learned about Viking history, took boat rides among icebergs and sea eagles , and saw the most beautiful turquoise waters! Now she’s home and missing her Duolingo Norwegian lessons (but she’s moved on to French… more on that in the next update!)

Seeking new representation!

Dana’s longtime agent, Professional Artists, closed in early 2024. She is currently seeking new representation. If you are interested in representing Dana, please reach out via the contact page!

Foxy Roxie Hart!

Dana is delighted to return to a show that is so near and dear to her heart! This summer, she’ll be starring as Roxie Hart in CHICAGO at the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina in beautiful Hilton Head, SC. After beginning her career in Velma’s shoes, she couldn’t be happier to now get the chance to inhabit Roxie and experience the show from the other side! CHICAGO runs June 26th-August 18th*—come enjoy Hilton Head’s gorgeous beaches, and then see a fabulous production of this classic Kander and Ebb musical!

*Dana will be out of the show August 8-10 due to a family commitment.

A Chorus Line... #6!

Dana is beyond thrilled to be back on the Line as Sheila, u/s Cassie in Stages St. Louis’ A CHORUS LINE! This production was supposed to happen in 2020, so it’s been quite the wait, but it’s finally time to STEP-KICK-KICK-LEAP-KICK-TOUCH! This show holds a special place in Dana’s heart: her very first production was as a cut dancer, then she proceeded to play Kristine, Sheila, Cassie, Sheila, and now Sheila again! Performances run September 9th-October 9th—check out stagesstlouis.org for ticket details!

Aerial showcase!

Dana has been spending loads of time at Aerial Arts NYC lately, choreographing a new hammock piece as part of their latest IAW (Intensive Aerial Workshop). The performance is this weekend, and Dana can’t wait to debut her new piece for family and friends!
