Working with Shannon was truly one of the highlights of our wedding preparation. Over the course of a month, she was not only professional and fun to work with, but she also made what felt impossible completely achievable. My wife and I wanted to blend two very different styles — a traditional waltz and salsa — and Shannon pulled it off beautifully. What really stood out was the custom choreography she curated specifically for my wife, moves that were so stunning that everyone who watched was completely captivated. She has a gift for seeing what works for each person and bringing it out in the most elegant way. Coming in with zero prior dance experience, I was nervous, but Shannon's teaching style immediately put me at ease. She was patient, encouraging, and never made me feel singled out. She simply worked with me until I found my rhythm — and I actually did. She made our first dance something we will never forget. We would hire Shannon again without hesitation and recommend her to anyone and everyone — a thousand times over.

Shannon was such a huge help for us! She choreographed an entire dance that we LOVED and walked us through every step of the way. She was also easy to work with, changing up some parts of the dance when we requested. She was on time and professional while also super fun and friendly. I HIGHLY recommend her for any dance lessons you may need! My fiance and I had such a great time learning from her and we’re so excited to share the dance she made just for us with everyone at our wedding! Thank you Shannon! ❤️

Shannon has been a real pleasure to work with. She has been teaching salsa to me and my friends in a private setting. We have loved every session so far. Her teaching style is easy to follow and she’s very knowledgeable. She really makes sure everyone understands what is going on and will help you improve your skills by a lot. I highly recommend her.

Working with Shannon was fantastic before our wedding! We had no prior dance experience and we were able to do a 2 minute dance of moderate complexity to surprise our family and friends. She was very responsive and also gracious with her time, offering us extra time when the dance lesson needed to be rescheduled. A huge strength is that provides in-home lesson, a big benefit for the last few weeks/months of the wedding when every second counts. She also provided feedback between lessons which helped us optimize our practice and lesson time. We are so grateful for her help in making our first dance a big success!
