Kilpatrick, a location she has grown to love along with the local residents. “I coulda put it anywhere, but for some reason this place kept haunting me,” she says. Shannon says the joy that she gets from her kids is much the same as the students she’s en countered across the globe. See loves seeing her pupils improve. “If it’s a troubled child, hope fully I’m using the dance element to get through to them, but I’m also working on improving their personalities, improving their character. That’s what the art is, it develops your personality, it develops the human being,” she says. Shannon adm its she does struggle to get enough students to make her dance studio a success ful venture. “People say that they are gonna come, and we’ve given out fly ers,” she laments. When Shannon first opened her doors, she had 15 teachers versed in nearly every genre of dance offering two free days of dance to the public. Nearly 100 people took advantage. But when it came time for the people to start paying, the numbers fell dramati cally. With jazz, ballet, tap, and hip- hop classes in her arsenal she knows her studio provides an affordable service at an acces sible location. “I opened up so that we can get the African-American kids, and not only them, but kids who can’t afford the arts and aren’t getting it in school,” say says. “I’m also trying to bring fitness back to the community.” To contact the Kemba Shan non Dance Center, call 323-691- 6409 or em ail kanbashanniTdancecenia^^gmaiLaim Home Equity Line of Credit 1.99 Get a great rate on a Home Equity Line of Credit.
