Chase Salcido & Danielle Porter
Chase salcido
We are so excited to have a former Boys & Girls Club member, Chase Salcido, agree to be a celebrity dancer for this season’s Dancing for Our Stars. We asked him why he is excited about his event, he replied, “to help raise funds for the Boys and Girls Club and help support my community”.
While growing up, Chase aspired to go to NASA, but after taking a physics course, he reassessed his future goals and decided that Agriculture Banking would be a better option. Chase works at Wells Fargo Commercial Banking in the Agribusiness, Food & Hospitality division.
Chase became a member of our Boys and Girls Club as a soccer player and has been involved with the Casa Grande Youth Commission. Chase is now currently a member of the Pinal County Farm Bureau’s Young Farmers and Ranchers.
We’re sure that Chase has run the numbers and in calculating a win for him and his partner for this season’s Mirror Ball!

Danielle Porter has been teaching dance for the past 14 years. She has been teaching dance at The Studio in Casa Grande for the past two years. “I absolutely love teaching dance”, Danielle shared. Her favorite classes to teach are ballet and lyrical. Danielle has also taught classes in jazz and tap. Performing ballet is a huge passion for Danielle but any type of dance is wonderful to perform.
Danielle chose to participate in this season’s Dancing for Our Stars, “because I would love to help support the community through an art form that means so much to me.” She is really excited about having a good time choreographing and performing with her celebrity partner.
When Danielle is not working at Mission Heights Preparatory High School, or teaching dance classes at The Studio, you can find her exploring her other passions either snowboarding or skateboarding. She’s sure to “shredding” her way to winning the Mirror Ball!
