Unforgettable Programs

If you want a competition program or an entertaining-show stopping routine, let Dan choreograph for you!

“I’ve recently worked with my longtime buddy Dan and enjoyed every moment of it. He is smart, funny, talented, completely professional and best of all, shorter than me.”

- Scott Hamilton

There are many components to consider when creating a good program:

Story line/character
Music/editing/possible sound effects
The skater’s strengths. Are they a pretty, elegant skater? Or are they strong, entertaining, and lean more to the theatrical side?

Only by being able to see the complete picture can a skater come up with a great program. I have been fortunate to work with top choreographers throughout my career (J. Scott Driscol and Simone Grigorescu to name a few) and choreograph for top skaters like Mike Weiss and Scott Hamilton.
