Hello
Hi there! I'm Shanon, and I'm here to help you start your shuffle dance journey—no matter what age that journey begins.
I'm a shuffle dance instructor based in Salt Lake City, Utah, who specializes in beginner-friendly classes and working with midlife beginners—people who've been told (or tell themselves) that their dancing days are over. Through free online shuffle dance tutorials, live workshops in Salt Lake City, and personalized online shuffle dance lessons, I help prove that learning to shuffle dance and starting something new at 40, 50, 60+ isn't just possible—it's powerful.
My shuffle dance classes welcome students of all ages and experience levels. Whether you're joining me for in-person workshops in Salt Lake City or taking private online lessons from anywhere in the world, you belong here. I've helped thousands of students learn shuffle dance through my beginner shuffle tutorials and personalized instruction.
Whether you're here to explore shuffle dance or ready to jump into classes, welcome to a space where age is celebrated, not counted against you.
My Story
Like many people, I first discovered shuffle dancing scrolling through social media. My immediate reaction? "I'm too old, too broken, too unfit, and too uncoordinated for such an intense dance style." I was 54, just one year post-knee replacement, and convinced my dancing days were behind me.
But I couldn't stop watching those videos. There was something magnetic about the energy, the joy, the pure freedom of movement. One day, curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to try just one move—the Polly Pocket. It was so much fun that I tried another. And another.
That single moment of courage changed everything. Two years later, shuffle dancing has become more than just a hobby—it's transformed how I see my body, my capabilities, and my future. I've discovered strength I didn't know I had, joy I thought I'd lost, and a community that celebrates every small victory.
Now I create content specifically for people like me—midlifers who thought their adventure days were over. My tutorials are free because I believe everyone deserves access to this kind of transformation, regardless of budget. But if you want more personalized support, I'm here for that too.
This isn't just about dancing. It's about rewriting the story of what's possible in the second half of life.
