Dani Dowler
Dani Dower has been swinging out since her sophomore year at Case, when her best friend agreed to come with her to check out this 'swing dance' thing. She hasn't stopped since! She now teaches for and performs with Get Hep Swing, the local swing company run by Valerie Salstrom. In addition to her swing experience, she is a classically trained modern dancer, currently in her first year of graduate school at CWRU's Mather Dance Center. Dani also received her B.A from Case in Dance Performance, and has an extensive background in tap, jazz, contemporary dance, and competitive gymnastics.
