OUR FAVORITE PERFORMANCE

Danielle is highly praised for her singing and dancing abilities. Her voice displays a wide supported range with stable live performances, offering a sweet, innocent sound in higher registers and a mature tone in lower registers. Her interpretation of the Korean version of "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid particularly highlighted her vocal talent.

As a dancer, Danielle impresses with her sense of rhythm and quick, precise movements. She shines in choreographies with fast turns and steps, as in songs like "Ditto," "OMG," and "Super Shy." On stage, she captivates with dynamic facial expressions and unique details, such as incorporating her hair into her performances.
