Dance Dance Evolution is one of Southern California’s most exciting live dance bands, delivering high-energy performances built around nonstop hits from the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s. Known for its polished musicianship, powerful vocals, and seamless medleys, DDE brings a nightclub-style experience to weddings, festivals, corporate events, and large-scale private parties throughout the region.
As the band’s bassist, Danny Knapp anchors Dance Dance Evolution with a tight, groove-focused foundation that drives the rhythm section and keeps audiences on their feet from the first song to the last. His ability to jump effortlessly between funk, disco, pop, rock, R&B, and Latin-inspired dance rhythms makes him a natural fit for the band’s diverse setlists and high-energy performance style.
Danny has performed extensively with Dance Dance Evolution across Southern California and beyond. His role extends beyond simply holding down the groove—his musical versatility enhances DDE’s signature blend of professional polish and electrifying crowd engagement.
