Shannon began her dance training in Virginia.  She then went off to attend East Carolina University where she received a BFA in dance performance.  After Graduation, Shannon moved to Philadelphia where she traveled and performed with Koresh Dance Company for 10 years.  In 2017, hip surgeries forced her into retiring from performing, but was able to continue with her other passion of teaching.  Shannon has taught all over the world and continues to teach at local studios here in New Jersey.  When Shannon is not teaching she is behind her camera capturing as many beautiful moments as she possibly can.  She started her photography business in 2022 and loves every minute of it.  Shannon is so excited to be a part of the Dance Class Family!
