says she set up her Kenton neigh­
borhood dance center as a “fluke.”
Her husband, who was raised in
Portland, hipped her to the avail­
ability of the space at 2017 N.
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.”
