Hi there! My name is Shelby and I have a passion for teaching. 

I have a background in dance, beginning my training at age two, and most recently spent four years running a dance program on an Army base in Germany. I was able to teach ballet, tap, and jazz to students ages 2.5-18. There we had daily classes year round, all cultivating in a big end of year production the teachers would create and choreograph ourselves! 

I also hold degrees in Elementary and Special Education and have just finished working as a 3rd grade teacher. I am stepping out of the classroom (temporarily!) while our family transitions out of the Army and moves across the country.

 Although my degree will be coming later in life than some, the path I chose has allowed me to follow some of my other passions~ becoming a dance teacher and running my own classes for four years, as well as start my family!

I am an Army Brat, turned Army Spouse, and mommy to two sweet little boys (and a puppy mom to two large boys as well!). Children and teaching have always been a love of mine for as long as I can remember, and I cannot wait to share my passions and help grow the minds of your learners!
