His studio is an inclusive and respectful space where everyone is free to be themselves. He proudly creates a safe learning environment for LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and disabled communities.  

For Danny, teaching is about more than just technique. It is about helping students achieve goals they may never have thought possible, celebrating every step of their journey, and ensuring they carry the joy of singing with them throughout their lives.
