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!

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!

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!

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!
