About Dani — Lead Instructor, Let’s Mahj Willamsburg

I found Mahjong at a moment when I needed connection the most — a little over a year postpartum, craving community, belonging, and a place to land. What started as a simple hope for a seat at a table became something much bigger: a path back to myself, and eventually, a calling to help others find that same sense of welcome.

I began teaching as Ms. Mahjong Muse, never imagining how quickly this game would weave people together. The joy, the friendships, the laughter around the table — it changed me. And when Let’s Mahj RVA opened their arms to me, inviting me into their community with warmth and generosity, everything clicked. Their values matched mine: intentional teaching, genuine connection, and a belief that Mahjong is more than a game — it’s a gathering place.

Today, I’m honored to bring that vision home as Let’s Mahj Williamsburg, serving Williamsburg and New Kent with the support of a team whose expertise, heart, and systems elevate everything we do.

My goal is simple:
To create spaces where you feel welcomed, encouraged, and part of something meaningful — whether you’re learning your very first Charleston or settling in for a night of guided play.

Here’s to the tables that brought us together, and all the new ones we’ll build.
