Dani Maloney’s dance journey began at the age of three when she started lessons at Long’s School of Dance in Erie, Pennsylvania. Her passion for the art form continued throughout her education at Shenandoah Conservatory, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance and Choreography in December 2017.

In addition to her formal training, Dani founded DMD (Dani Maloney Dance), a group she later transformed into a nonprofit dance company in 2020. Based in Las Vegas, DMD produces both live performances and films. The company has earned several accolades, including film awards from the Lady Filmmakers Festival, Festigous International Film Festival, Screen Dance International, Kalakari Film Festival, Prisma Independent Film Awards, RED Movie Awards, Rome Prisma Film Awards, and The BeBop Channel. DMD also placed in the top 10 at the World of Dance 2022 Championship Week, ranking among the top 10 dance acts in the U.S.

In 2022, 2023 and 2024, Dani worked as the choreographer for Neil Goldberg, contributing to the military tour (2022), the Miami residency (2023) and the TV special (2024) of Pomp, Snow and Cirqueumstance, as well as the Denver residency (2022 and 2023) of Cirque: Spirit of Christmas. Dani also worked at AREA15 as their event coordinator, and she helped plan, manage, and execute the ins and outs of their large-scale entertainment events.

Dani’s performance career spans a wide range of roles and disciplines, working as a dancer, singer, acrobat, contortionist, and aerialist with various professional companies. Her credits include performing with the LA Philharmonic in Barry Edelstein’s production of The Tempest. She has also worked with many production companies in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. She toured as a company member with DIAVOLO | Architecture in Motion. Dani has performed as a swing in Cherry Boom Boom, and worked at the Bellagio Mayfair Supper Club as a full-time After Dark dancer, Specialty Artist, and a swing Main Show dancer. She has worked with Carnival Cruise Lines and OnTheFly Pros as a dancer, aerialist and dance captain for the debut of the new Mardi Gras ship. Carnival later brought Dani back as an install director to set the fleet’s newest center-stage shows incorporating dance, aerial, circus, and live music.

Dani played an integral role in the immersive show Particle Ink: Speed of Dark, which ran in downtown Las Vegas. She played the Keeper and was the resident dance captain in 2022. She was later cast in the role of Lilith when the show remounted at the Luxor Casino in 2024. In addition to her performance duties, Dani swung 4 out of the 6 tracks and was the resident dance captain in the remount. Dani toured with Cirque Du Soleil’s OVO where she was the red spider and the choreography artist coach for a year and a half. She is represented by Go 2 Talent Agency.

She is currently performing as a swing in the Donny Osmond Las Vegas Residency, and is the writer, director, choreographer, and cast member of DMD’s Mythology. Dani is passionate about expanding contemporary dance into more spaces across Las Vegas. She sees this art form as rich in depth and emotional connection, and believes the time has come for contemporary dance to claim its own professional presence in Sin City.
