Student Testimonials

  • Shannon was my fusion belly dance instructor for many years, and was the first real catalyst in my early dancing career. Her teaching style truly challenged not only my dance technique, but also my creative methodology. Shannon has a wealth of both dance and performance knowledge, and it was such a pleasure to learn from her.

  • Shannon came into my life at exactly the right time. As a brand new dancer at the age of 37 and having birthed four children, I was certainly not comfortable in my own skin. Not only did Shannon teach me to appreciate the beauty of my own body, but I learned so much dance technique and understanding of my own physiology from her. Shannon’s methodology is one in which everyone in the room feels loved, accepted and encouraged. I have laughed and cried and everything in between in her dance classes. I would highly recommend working with her in any capacity - she is pure magic.

  • Working with Shannon and Heather through the modeling 101 workshop exceeded my expectations in every aspect. I thoroughly enjoyed the layout of the day. We started with all the information and discussion needed to immediately turn around and utilize in real time what was learned. As a woman, I loved that safety was a topic discussed. Throughout the entire workshop, both Heather and Shannon made me feel incredibly comfortable. I learned so much, and feel so much more confident in front of the camera after working with them. Could not recommend this workshop enough, 100/10 experience.
