Dantana

Dantana is the femslash ship between Dani and Santana from the Glee fandom.

Canon
Dani and Santana meet each other at the Spotlight Diner, where both of them work as waitresses. From the start, the two of them show their mutual attraction for each other as they exchange flirty glances as they work. Later, Santana tells Dani that she likes her name. Claiming her name it's a "boy name," Santana asks Dani if her parents "knew she was going to be a lesbian" to name her like that. At this remark, Dani bluntly says she's "not a lesbian." Seeing Santana's shocked face, Dani laughs and says she totally is a lesbian, and was just kidding. And she seems to be comfortable enough with Santana to reveal that her parents are actually "d bags." She tells Santana that she had to run away from home after they found her making out with a girl. Santana then says that her parents are nice, her grandmother not so much and tells Dani that she had a "bisexual" girlfriend, but that they broke up. Hearing this, Dani flirtly asks if there's a chance they can come back together, to which Santana sadly says that it's over. Dani "shoots her shot" and says that what Santana needs now is "a 100% Sapphic goddess." Santana gets flustered and puts the excuse that she needs to look for something, to run away from the conversation.

In panic, she finds Rachel and she teases Santana about her crush. Santana is nervous because she never dated "an actual lesbian" before. Rachel realizes that she's "scared" and she finds that cute. But Santana asks her not to tell anyone this, because she thinks she might like Dani and that "it's terrifying." So Rachel reassures her that she's sure that Dani is a smart girl, that won't lose the chance of being with someone as "amazing" as Santana. Her "matchmaking" goes as far as organizing an ellaborate plan to leave the two of them alone together. So Dani suggests they watch the sunrise together. Santana agrees and the two of them stay together, singing "Here Comes the Sun" as the sun rises. Then, they head to Dani's apartment together. And Dani gives her a kiss on the lips before saying goodbye.

Later on, Santana mentions to Rachel and Kurt that the two are officially girlfriends. And the two of them can be seen singing together later in the episode.
