» Biography » Dani
The "heart" of the crew
       Daniel Burkart met DJ BoBo when both of them were dancing in a club called "Hazyland". They changed their addresses but heard nothing from each other during about one year until they met again in another disco. This was in 1990 when they realized that both had this love and passion for dancing. BoBo asked Dani if he'd like to join his project. He said yes on the spot. They started to dance in front of real audience in some clubs around Switzerland. BoBo and Dani together with Curtis were from then on the "heart" of the DJ BoBo dance crew. They even can understand each other on stage without saying anything.

       At the beginning, Daniel was "only" a dancer. Because of the fast and big success of DJ BoBo his job expanded in different subjects. Today, Dani is responsible for the outfits of the crew, the stage design, coordination of the shows. Here is what DJ BoBo is saying about him: "He is incredibly talented when it comes to creating the stage for our shows. He is able to see the entire stage (or the complete show) in his mind's eye, even if we have just started drawing the first little sketch."

       But that seems not to be enough for Daniel: in his free time he still follows his original profession (floor covering). In 1996 he even founded his own firm. And on the top Curtis and Daniel opened in 1997 their own dance school, the "CD Wicked Dance Academy". A part of the locations were redesigned also by Daniel...

       Daniel is not only busy in his professional life, but also in his privacy. He's got a little son who takes his love and attention.
