Shannon Means
Hi, I am Shannon from Ohio. I teach SHiNE Dance Fitness classes in Weirton, WV. My full-time job is with the accounting department at Franciscan University of Steubenville, but SHINE Dance Fitness is my passion. I’ve been married for 23 years, my husband and I have one 19 year old daughter, and two cats. I love anything crafty, I love hiking, and reading, but most importantly, I love to dance! If you are ever in my area, please stop in and see me. I would LOVE to meet you!
Why I became a SHiNE/UPLIFT Instructor
In 2018, I was looking for a dance fitness class to attend. I swear I had been to every class that existed in my area, and couldn’t find the right fit! One day I was searching “dance fitness routines” on YouTube. “That’s my Girl” was one of the first songs I searched and SHiNE popped up. I was in LOVE! I signed up to become an online member, and did classes at home throughout the pandemic. After the pandemic, I returned to a studio I had previously attended. This studio teaches its own format. While I LOVED these classes, I still really wished there was something like SHiNE as an in-person class. I was telling the owner of my studio about how great SHiNE was, and that I would love it if she would find an instructor to teach something like that. She said to me “Why don’t YOU do it? Get Certified and I will give you a class.” I laughed. I DO love to dance, but was I good enough to TEACH?? I was hesitant. But, the owner of the studio I attend was encouraging (and persistent), and finally in November 2021 I signed up for training. It was the BEST decision I’d ever made.Upcoming Classes
