Our Pilates Instructors

Award-winning ballerina, nationally-recognized dance instructor, and solo-founder of three businesses, Danielle Maas is no stranger to the hustle.

She started dancing at the age of two, and had her first world-renowned mentor by nine. She’s trained with the School of American Ballet, the American Ballet Theater, and the Manhattan Youth Ballet. She’s trained under the direction of the Ballet world’s most elite teachers, including Susan Jaffe, Tara Foy, and Francois Perron.

Her career has taken her all over the country. As a young dancer in Minnesota, she was one of the top elite dancers in the competitive world with Larkin Dance Studio. At fifteen she moved to New York City to train with some of the world’s top Ballet schools. Later, she moved to Los Angeles where she performed in television shows, awards shows, and national commercials.

Moving to Las Vegas in 2016 she had the honor of joining Nevada Ballet Theater where she graced the Smith Center Stage for 6 years performing some of her favorite ballets of Swan Lake, Alice (in wonderland), and Nutcracker.

In 2021, Danielle achieved a significant milestone, graduating from UNLV with a Bachelor of Fine Arts for the Professional Dancer. This marked not only an academic triumph but a launchpad for her teaching career. As Resident Guest Artist at the university, and later as a Visiting Professor in 2022, Danielle brought her wealth of experience to the next generation of dancers. She also tours the country with Resurgence Intensive, a training program she founded and developed for young dancers.

With the founding of Blue Chip Conditioning in July of 2020, Danielle realizes a life-long dream of bringing the incredible results she’s seen in her 25 years of training as a dancer to other top-tier athletes, as well as the general public. As owner and lead instructor, Danielle infuses her motivation, infectious joy, and inspirational spirit into every class.

Moreover, as a Master Trainer for the DK Body Balancing Method, Danielle not only embodies excellence in instruction but also leads the charge in shaping the next generation of Pilates practitioners. With her extensive background, Danielle stands as a beacon of inspiration, for all students and clients.
