My wife and I love Shannon! Shannon is an absolute blast! She is incredibly communicative, non judgmental and always flexible with us for our schedules and different dances we want to try! My wife and I started so we could try a new hobby not knowing how long we’d be able to keep up, but it has easily become our favourite things to do weekly! We cannot speak any more highly of Shannon and how much she lets us be ourselves and emphasises enjoying what we are learning! We’ve even gifted lessons to our parents as a treat for us all to learn with Shannon together!

A warm, professional, personable, and encouraging teacher who's great at enhancing your strengths and building your confidence! She immediately set us at ease during our first lesson and her teaching method is so easy to follow and pick up on. She is clearly highly experienced and loves what she does, you will be in good hands with her regardless of your initial skill level!

Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • Waltz • Slow Dance • Foxtrot • Swing Dance • No, I do not have choreography in mind • No experience • My home, venue, etc.

Shannon was such a great teacher. She was gauged our dancing abilities and adjusted the choreography accordingly. She broke the steps down in a way easy to understand. She is very talented and if I needed to do choreography again, I would hire her in a heartbeat! She’s a gem!

Amazing experience with Shannon! She choreographed our wedding first dance 2 weeks before the wedding and she went above and beyond for us. Very professional and knowledgeable in many different dance styles. Will definitely be coming back for more classes!
