Biography/History
Danny Daniels was born Daniel Giani, Jr. on Oct. 25, 1924 in Albany, NY and had an extensive career as a dancer, choreographer,
director, and teacher. A childhood tap dance prodigy, he made his film debut as a featured dancer in
The Star Maker (Paramount, 1939). He later danced leading roles on Broadway and elsewhere. In 1952, Daniels collaborated with composer Morton
Gould on the work "Tap Dance Concerto," in which the sound of the dancer's feet is treated as a musical instrument. As a choreographer,
Daniels worked on several Broadway musicals, as well as several productions in Los Angeles and at other regional theaters.
He was nominated for Tony Awards for
High Spirits (1964),
Walking Happy (1967), and
Annie Get Your Gun (1967). In 1984 he won the award for
The Tap Dance Kid. He also worked extensively in film and television, perhaps most memorably as the choreographer for
Pennies from Heaven (MGM, 1981). Daniels was also an entrepreneur, marketing toys, founding a dance school, and selling dance instruction video
tapes by mail. He worked as recently as 2004, choreographing and having a cameo appearance in the short film
Tap Heat.
Scope and Content
The Danny Daniels papers consist primarily of documents relating to Daniels' long career as a performer and choreographer.
There are scripts, correspondence, publicity material, choreography notes, audiovisual material, and props. There are also
records for various business ventures, especially the Danny Daniels Dance America school and Daniels' attempt to market instructional
videos. There is a relatively small amount of personal material, consisting of correspondence, audiovisual material, periodicals,
scrapbooks, wardrobe items, and ephemera. Also present is Daniels' collection of theater programs, amassed over a period of
five decades.
