Denise started out as a social dancer, and then became a competitive dancer after she married her husband Pat.  They have been competing in the Senior Championship Divisions of International Standard for the last 9 years.  If you don't see them on the competition floor, you can see them dancing socially at a local dance.  When not dancing, Denise and Pat spend a lot of weekends in her home town of Long Island, New York, visiting all her family.  Denise is new to Massabda's Board, but looks forward to making a contribution in any way she can.
