SHEILA

Sheila is a Philadelphia, PA native, now living in Northern Utah. Classically trained at Progressive Center for Dance in Philly, Sheila developed a love for dance at the tender age of three years old and entered college on a full dance scholarship. Being introduced to Latin and African partner dances years ago, she became serious about these genres of dance upon moving to the state and performs at congresses, shows and events. As a busy mom of 3, Sheila knows what it's like to juggle your hobbies, career, and life in general with a growing need to shake it on the dance floor or be fit. Here are her thoughts on how to achieve your goals and why she loves dance so much:
“Students should have a goal in mind, even if that goal is just to Have Fun. With Latin dance, for example, maybe the goal is to be proficient in social dancing, conquer group or performance fears, or maybe becoming more technical is your goal. Either way, it's your goal and as a teacher, I want you to achieve it, with a big smile on your face, of course.”
“In dance, you will never stop learning. Your brain and your body remain highly active. That's why dance transcends age and background. Your spirit gets a boost because you have done something maybe you thought you couldn't or you took your skills to the next level. I enjoy that for my personal growth and love to see the same in others by helping them achieve it in this art form. And... IT'S FUN!!!!”
