Dani is an extraordinary dancer, model and creative director. Dani grew up in France &amp;amp; currently resides in the United States, but is traveling the world as a dancer on the Sam Smith Gloria Tour. Because my daughter, Julia is the bass player in Sam\u2019s band, I\u2019ve had the pleasure and honor of meeting Dani, the other dancers, background vocalists and band members. Dani is a seasoned dancer, having performed and choreographed with Beyonc\u00e9, danced with Sidi Larbi\u2019s Belgium Dance Company &amp;amp; Royal Ballet of Flanders. Dani shared the video of an extraordinary dance called Mea Culpa that moved me to tears and gave me a sacred window into Dani\u2019s heart and soul.  We recorded this conversation at the end of September when the Sam Smith tour had a break between the North American tour and the Asian tour. By now the tour is in Australia, where I will see, in person, my daughter, Dani and all the other performers for their last shows of 2023.  Check out the links below to follow Dani and the incredible artistry he embodies. Enjoy the podcast!
