Dance With Danielle Moves Into East Hanover

A new community-based, family-oriented dance studio for all ages is open for business in East Hanover.

Mayor Joseph Pannullo, members of the Township Council and residents marked the grand opening of Dance with Danielle with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the studio Sept. 8 at 55 Eagle Rock Ave.

Studio owner Danielle Delvescovo, an East Hanover native, said the enterprise bearing her name will provide students with the leading dance techniques and knowledge, enabling them to develop poise, self-confidence and a passion for the arts as they enjoy the activity of dance.

Delvescovo, a 2004 graduate of Hanover Park Regional High School, said her love for dance was born at age three, when she started studying with instructor Gail DeSantis.

DeSantis was more than a teacher—she was a mentor for the girl, who began assisting the instructor with classes from the ages of 12 through 17, when Delvescovo started teaching her own classes at DeSantis' studio.

The newly minted business owner is a certified member of Dance Educators of America and Associated Dance Teachers of New Jersey. In addition to her dance background she is also a certified Pilates instructor from Pilates on Fifth.

Dance with Danielle teaches students from age two through adult in Pilates yoga, as well as ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop and lyrical dance.

Registration for the 2013-2014 dance season is open until Nov. 15. For more information, contact the school at 862-701-5088, via email at dancewithdanielle2@gmail.com or visit its website.
