I’m Danielle (Danni) Snyder and I’m a BOXERINA. If you’re here, you are too. As a former pole vaulter and athlete, I struggled to find my “team” when I moved to NYC in 2008.

FROM FASHION TO FITNESS

Cut to 2013 Fashion Week. My sister and I have the label DANNIJO and we didn’t want to do just another fashion week show. We had recently sat next to Misty Copeland at an ABT event. Immediately I recognized her as a Boxerina - someone that was at once elegant and graceful but also powerful and badass. Our meeting ended up inspiring DANNIJO’s SS 2014 fashion show aptly entitled Boxerina wherein we partnered with ABT and had ballerinas dancing in and outside of a boxing ring dripping in DANNIJO - point shoes hanging from the ceiling and boxing gloves dangling from the ring.
