Step into a weekend unlike anything in the shuffle world. The Midlife Shuffle Mastery Retreat is a 2½-day, intimate, small-group experience held at Shanon’s private studio in beautiful Midway, Utah—a mountain town known for clean air, stunning views, and peaceful surroundings. Designed for intermediate dancers, this retreat blends structured coaching, personalized feedback, restorative sessions, nourishing meals, and the space to truly immerse yourself in your shuffle journey. With limited spots available, every dancer receives meaningful attention and hands-on guidance throughout the weekend. We’ll focus on: • Expanding your repertoire of shuffle, shapes, and footwork moves • Learning complex combos to strengthen transitions and flow • Developing your personal style with freestyle practice • Building speed, stamina, and confidence • Connecting with a supportive, inspiring shuffle community What Makes This Retreat Unique The Mastery Retreat is a small, high-touch weekend designed to give you the kind of personal coaching and focused practice you simply can’t get in a standard workshop. Held at Shanon’s private studio in beautiful Midway, Utah, the setting itself creates a peaceful, inspiring environment for learning. You’ll train in depth with Level 2+ technique, transitions, directional work, drills, and guided freestyle practice, receiving real-time corrections and individualized support every step of the way. Beyond the dance sessions, the retreat includes restorative elements like breathwork, foam rolling, and shuffle-specific strength work to help your body stay healthy throughout the weekend. All meals, snacks, and refreshments are included, with healthy, hearty menus designed to keep you energized. Dinners also offer optional wine or light libations. Outdoor spaces—like the scenic gazebo/pavilion, fire tables, and calming water features—add a retreat-like feel where you can relax, reset, and connect with other dancers. Thoughtful touches and small surprises make the experience feel personal, supportive, and memorable. This is a warm, intimate environment where you’re welcomed like family and given the space to grow with confidence.
