Welcome to Dance Vibe Designs, where we celebrate the art of dance, sports, and family through beautifully crafted merchandise and gifts. My name is Donna, and I am the creator behind Dance Vibe Designs. With a lifelong commitment to dance, I've built a brand that reflects my love for the dance community, while also embracing other communities including sports, family, and faith.
My journey began in 1996, when I graduated from Hofstra University with a BA in Dance. Since then, I've taught at local community centers and dance studios before opening my own studio, Donna's Gotta Dance Inc. in Staten Island NY, which ran for 17 successful years from 1996 to 2013.
After relocating to Pennsylvania, my passion for dance continues to flourish as I remain active within the dance studio world. My two children, once babies during my studio years, are now in college. Supporting their education is what inspired me to explore the world of e-commerce, which is the perfect opportunity to blend my dance expertise with my creative talents.
With Dance Vibe Designs, I can still create beautiful dance-inspired pieces, not choreographed on a stage, but expressed through bold, vibrant designs on shirts, hats, and more. I get to stay creative while continuing to serve the community I've been a part of for over 30 years. What makes my designs different is that throughout my journey I've been able to see things through all perspectives: that of a dance student, teacher, choreographer, business owner, and parent. This allows me to create products that will appeal to people at all stages of their journey.
I am dedicated to running this new business with the same heart and commitment as Donna's Gotta Dance Inc., and I look forward to keeping this next venture thriving for many years to come.
