Original Dance Controversy

In the 2009-2010 season, their aboriginal themed original dance became gained attention when Russian Ice Dances Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabelin used a similar theme which had no real resemblance of Australian Aboriginal music of choreography.

Danielle and Greg were planned to compete at the Vancouver Olympics, after being given certainty for competing, however, they had to withdraw from their Olympic qualifier due to injury.

They are coached by Australian Ice dance champion Monica Macdonald in Sydney, Australia.

In the 2009-10 season, they trained with former World Champion Victor Kraatz with Maiiki Kraatz. In the 2010-11 season, Danielle and Greg have began part time coaching with former world champion Anjelika Krylova and Pasquale Camerlengo.
