The American Pickers star captioned the post with an emotional message, opening up about her difficult hysterectomy from a couple of years ago.
HARD RECOVERY
She began by thanking the city for their support as the show was her "first post-hysterectomy" performance and she claimed that "it blessed my life in so many ways.
"As a burlesque artist, exotic dancer, performance, artist, musician, it’s such a surge of love, that a performer feels when they look out into the audience, and they see the faces of the people that they love that are truly supporting them, cheering for them, clapping, screaming, It’s magical," Danielle explained.
"Every time I hit the stage, I feel so much love and support that it becomes addictive."

"I’m truly blessed for each one of you who have passed through my life and contributed something to my journey."

Danielle's lengthy tribute continued, "@theperlenoire thank you for helping me fall in love with fan, dancing, and self expression. Thank you for having patience with me as my understanding of this world grows.
"I regularly feel your presence on stage as I reach deeper into forms of self expression because of what I’ve learned from you."
FAN DANCE FUN
Danielle then explained how "fan dancing" specifically has "transformed her life" and "sense of self."
"It was one of the only forms of exercise I could do after my hysterectomy and it always makes me feel like I am wrapped in a hug," she confessed.
"So even when I’m feeling sad, it’s a nice way to hug myself. It’s really difficult to feel sad or anxious when fan dancing. that’s why it’s so addictive.
This show was my first show post hysterectomy and boy did it bless my life in so many ways.
