Head Captain- Dennette
Dennette has been dancing for over 20 years. Starting out at the age of 3, her training spans jazz, hip hop, modern, African, and tap. Growing up, she immersed herself in both studio training and performance opportunities, which built the foundation for her unique style and passion for the art.
While pursuing her BA in Public Relations and Dance Performance at Hofstra University, Dennette was selected as President of the university’s Dance Club, where she led performances and created opportunities for fellow dancers to showcase their artistry. During this time, she balanced technique-based training with leadership and choreography, preparing her for both professional and creative roles.
After graduating, Dennette signed with MSA Dance Agency, earning opportunities to perform with renowned artists such as Janelle Monáe and Tone Stith. Her credits also include dancing at major cultural events like Global Citizen and Afropunk, where she brought her artistry to diverse audiences.
Now entering her second season with the NBA G-League Long Island Nets Dance Team, Dennette leads as Team Captain, bringing her character driven style to the court while guiding her teammates both on and off the floor. As a Long Island native, this role holds a special meaning. It allows her to give back to and impact the very communities she grew up in, making her connection to the organization deeply personal.
In addition to performing, Dennette is passionate about teaching, encouraging students to take risks, embrace their individuality, and grow each time they step into the studio. While honoring her passion for dance, she also works full time as an Engagement Strategist at a healthcare agency, where she brings the same creativity, organization, and drive that define her artistry.
