Beginning her professional dance career at just 18, Dani Tucci-Juraga has built a multifaceted life in the arts that extends far beyond the stage. In this inspiring and practical master class, students will explore how to grow from performer to creator, educator, entrepreneur, and storyteller. Drawing from her work on national tours and Broadway, choreography for regional theaters, founding and operating a successful dance studio, teaching at the collegiate level, and publishing a children’s book, Dani shares how versatility becomes the foundation for a sustainable career. Participants will gain insight into recognizing opportunities, transferring skills across disciplines, and building a career that evolves with time. This session emphasizes that success in the arts is not about choosing one lane — it’s about learning how to build many.
