sr. company profile: danielle frost

My name is Danielle Frost. I am currently 17 years old and a senior in high school. I have been dancing at the Academy for as long as I can remember. While my favorite class is Jazz, I take and enjoy all the classes the studio has to offer. Aside from the immeasurable amount of hours I spend at the Academy each week, I spend a lot of my time with Staples Players, the theatre organization of Staples High School. I am co-dance captain for the organization and absolutely love performing in all the shows. My experience and training from the Academy has well prepared me for all aspects of my role as dance captain, whether it is choreographing, helping non-dancers learn to dance, or simply being on stage.Additionally, I participate in the volunteer organization Circle of Friends, which reaches out to families with children on the spectrum. It is a truly incredible organization and I love playing a part in it. I am also a piano player. I have been taking lessons with my grandma, a piano teacher, since I was in first grade, and particularly like playing Broadway music.I am the oldest of three children in my family. I have a younger brother in seventh grade, and a younger sister, Andrea, in tenth grade, who is also a member of Senior Company. In addition to my sister, the other girls in Senior Company are tremendously important to me. I am excited to be graduating with three of my closest friends!
