Artist Biography
Danny Nielsen has emerged as one of the leaders of tap dance in Canada. His prolific technical skill and musical sensibility launched him on to the international stage at age 23. Danny has taught and performed at many national and international tap festivals and was an integral part of Vancouver based dance company Radical System Art's (Shay Kuebler) production Telemetry. The show was a hit and toured for over 3 years at notable venues such as the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, Place Des Arts in Montreal and White Bird Dance Series in Portland. Danny has created several self-produced projects. Most recently, he has just completed a sold-out run of his newest creation In Conversation at the Dance Centre in Vancouver in collaboration with Bulgarian pianist/percussionist Kristian Alexandrov, directed by Houston's Matt Shields. The show was recently presented in Calgary in January 2025 by DJD and One Yellow Rabbit.
