Shannon has over 16 years of experience dancing and has been teaching dance for about 13 years. She has a versatile background in many styles of dance such as ballroom, latin, ballet, jazz, hip hop, contemporary, modern and heels. She started her dance journey in Detroit, Michigan at the age of 13, training at several studios and working for Arthur Murray in her late teen years. She studied at American Musical and Dramatic Academy in Manhattan before deciding to return to Michigan and build up her resume. She moved to Los Angeles in 2017 and has been dancing full time for most of her time here, following her passion and dreams.

She's trained with major choreographers and was in a exclusive mentorship with Beyonce's choreographer, Dana Foglia for a year in 2019. She's performed gigs all over LA with several different troupes and companies and loves performing as much as she does teaching. She loves changing lives through dancing and dedicates her life to helping individuals through her art. Dancing was a saving grace in her life growing up and she believes in the amazing power that art can have to teach discipline, emotional release and confidence, which is what she instills in all of her students. She is grateful to be performing at this event and can't wait to showcase the routine that they have been working on!
