This is an excellent program and Shannon sees detail that other teachers often miss. She fully explains her corrections and provides lots of visual support and cues that massively help when making changes. She preserves trying other explanations and cues when things don’t work initially and is always positive and encouraging. Lots of improvements have been made as a direct result of being part of this program and I very much see it as an integral part of my future training.

My daughter is having an amazing experience working with Shannon. Shannon’s knowledge and professionalism are unquestionable but it’s her obvious gift for teaching that set her apart and she works tirelessly and patiently making sure she gets the right response offering many different explanations, demonstrations and visual cues to support her corrections. My daughter has made amazing progress in the short time she’s been taking lessons and will definitely continue to work with Shannon as part of her overall vocational training.

I have learned so much from TBA! So far I have done their turnout upgrade, and I have definitely noticed improvements in my rotation. I have also gained a good understanding about how the turnout muscles work and how to use them properly. Overall, the turnout upgrade has really helped my performance in class and I cannot wait to learn more from TBA!

Shannon is an incredible, attentive, and detailed coach. Anyone could benefit from her lessons.

Thanks you Ms. Shannon for your patience & guidance in helping me to achieve my flexibility goals! I was able to use these special methods/tips that were customized for me to help improve my flexibility and technique.

I always looked forward to variation classes with The Ballet Advantage and the professional dancers that taught the classes. Classes were challenging and fun. It helped me improve my musicality as learning in the moment does. The classes were positive and the corrections I received were helpful. Thank you!

This program was amazing! I enjoyed every minute of it! I saw a lot of improvement in my technique and cleaning the steps. Also doing correct transitions. I learned so much and would repeat this experience a thousand times! I would definitely recommend this program, it’s an amazing opportunity to improve and gain new knowledge!
