    When I found Dani back in 2012 she had long curly red hair, she was dancing with Jacob Latimore, and she did NOT have this accent. Idk when she started talking like this. 😂

    I’m sorry she seems nice and she can dance well but I always wonder why black networks like BET highlight artists that don’t consider themselves black. Latin award shows don’t highlight and lift up African American artist. Please spare me the history about have Dominicans have African roots because MANY of them don’t claim that. Bet you won’t see Meg Thee Stallion on any Latin magazines/tv programs.

      You know.....I was about to say the same. I mean there are A LOT of us out here who choreo in our sleep...but I also understand too that "this particular thing is literally the politics" behind the scenes. Hell in the 90s You had ppl like Big Lez Jossie Harris, Darren Henson, Fatima , Laurie Ann Gibson who were hired so NSYNC ,BACKSTREET BOYS , O-TOWN , BRITNEY SPEARS ETC ETC could have some flavor and swag. I never see them highlighted on here ...not even a segment for throwbacks. Which in my opinion as a dancer is shameful and fucked up. It is not to be hateful or anything but I feel like for this network to be called Black entertainment....they sure enough don't highlight it.

      @B C I totally agree, I don't rock with cardi B, dj khaled, tekashi, fat joe etc. If you're not black I do not feel you should use the N word period. I don't support them at all. My main reason is no other race has turned they're racist negative word into a positive. Other races use the N word like it's ok. We made the word our own to take the power back from racist people. I'm tired of it. It's not ok. I don't have nothing against anybody, but respect is respect.

      B C “LatinX” but I guess you missed that part? We all know that Latin ppl can be black however quite a few of them don’t identify as such. Never have I heard her identify as a Afro-Latina so until that changes I think it’s safe to say she is not black.

    Why y’all hating on this girl? I’m sure she deserves where she’s at right know. Everybody has their journey and find his/her way to success. She’s talented and we have to recognize that! either if she’s Latin descendant or whatever. Also, as a Dominican, we all have African blood in us, so we black either we know about it or not. I think uneducated people is the one who denied it. Let’s not blame everybody for not having the same education as you. Thanks.
