About Dan the Music Man
Thanks for visiting!
An NYC based children's performer and guitarist, Dan the Music Man provides a high energy, interactive song and dance experience for both children and adults. With his guitar, shakers, scarves, bubbles, and parachute, Dan strives to bring the most musical fun and excitement to your party or event!
A graduate of Marymount Manhattan College with a Musical Theater degree, Dan began leading music and art classes at The Perry School, under their Baby Moves Program in 2011. It was there he discovered a real passion for making and performing music for children. By word of mouth alone, Dan became an in demand entertainer for West Village families, bringing all the fun of a parent and child music class direct to the home. Today, he performs all over the NY Area at countless parties and events.
In addition to private parties, Dan also offers his own weekly music class brought directly to your home, community space, or wherever you see fit. In class, children will clap, jump, wiggle, twirl, hop, stomp, and march their way through a variety of participatory songs and dances; fostering their own self expression along the way!
Dan's repertoire spans across multiple genres, touching on classic rock, folk, motown, standards, contemporary pop hits, and classic children's songs. From Raffi to Rolling Stones, AC/DC to Adele, or Beatles to Bruno Mars, there's something for everyone to sing along to!

Daniel is great! He made it so easy to coordinate playing at my daughter and a friend's 2nd birthday party. Daniel played a variety of songs some of which I was happily singing all day. The kids loved him. Daniel had 15 two year olds dancing, singing, following him along with instruments and engaged like I have never seen. Everyone was still talking about how good he was a week later. Thanks for a fantastic party Daniel :)

Dear Daniel,
Thank you for providing the wonderful and engaging entertainment at my daughter’s 3rd birthday party. Your energy and excitement throughout the party kept the kids enthralled and focused - no small feat! I didn’t know how we were going to manage all those 3 year old kids, but you quickly took control of the party and led them in spirited song and dance. As you know, I have recommended your talents and services to many other parents, and hope that you will be available for our daughter’s party next year!
