Meet Dani: Working Actress, Educator & Beloved Character Performer
Some performers join a team. Others feel like family from the very beginning.
Meet Dani, a full-time working actress, educator, and longtime character performer who has been part of Iman’s journey in children's entertainment for years. In fact, Dani and Iman, the owner of Jersey City Party Characters, have been performing as party princesses together since their days in Florida!
What started as a shared love of performing has grown into years of friendship, theater, children's entertainment, and now Jersey City Party Characters.
A Full-Time Working Actress
Dani is a full-time working actress with experience across television, commercials, live theater, and musical theater.
She brings that professional performance experience to every character she plays, whether she's in front of a camera, on a theater stage, or walking into a child's birthday party in character.
Dani knows how to create a character from the inside out. She understands acting, movement, storytelling, and audience interaction, which means her performances feel like much more than simply putting on a costume.
From Florida Princesses to Jersey City Party Characters
Long before JCPC became what it is today, Dani and Iman were party princesses together in Florida.
They've performed together, worked together, grown as artists together, and now continue that partnership through Jersey City Party Characters.
Having someone on the team who has known Iman and worked alongside her for so many years makes Dani particularly special to JCPC.
She's not just another performer. She's part of the story.
Meet Dani's Characters
Dani loves bringing a wide variety of characters to life, including Moana, Jasmine, HUNTR/X, Elena of Avalor, and Mirabel!
From the adventurous spirit of Moana to the confidence and charm of Jasmine, Dani loves finding the personality and energy that makes each character unique.
She's also a fantastic choice for families looking for HUNTR/X character entertainment, bringing her professional acting and musical theater experience into a high-energy, interactive experience filled with music, dancing, and fun.
And when she steps into the role of Mirabel or Elena of Avalor, Dani brings that same warmth and enthusiasm that makes children feel like they're meeting the real character.
An Actress Who Works With Kids Every Day
Dani's love of working with children extends far beyond birthday parties.
She also works as a Program Coordinator for an afterschool program in Jersey City, giving her firsthand experience working with children in an educational and enrichment environment.
That experience is a huge part of what makes Dani such a wonderful character performer.
She understands how kids communicate, how to keep groups engaged, and how to create an environment where children feel comfortable participating and being themselves.
Whether she's teaching, coordinating an afterschool program, performing onstage, or playing a princess, Dani brings genuine care to the children she works with.
Life Outside the Stage
When Dani isn't acting or working with kids, she loves staying active and creative.
Her hobbies include yoga, Orangetheory, reading, dancing, and shopping.
And then there's her Goldendoodle, who naturally gets plenty of attention too! 🐶
Between workouts, books, dance, shopping trips, acting gigs, and spending time with her pup, Dani definitely knows how to keep herself busy.
Why We Love Dani
Dani is the kind of performer who brings professionalism, warmth, talent, and genuine experience to every event.
She's a working actress who understands the stage and camera. She's an educator who understands children. She's a musical theater performer who knows how to sing and move. And she's been creating magical birthday experiences alongside Iman since their days as princesses in Florida.
That's a pretty special combination.
Whether she's performing as Moana, Jasmine, HUNTR/X, Elena of Avalor, Mirabel, or another beloved character, Dani brings her full performer heart to the experience.
We're so lucky that after all these years, Dani is still part of the adventure.
