Episode 32 of our Heart to Heart video series features Shannon Dooling-Cain, Dance Educator + Founder of The Holistic Dance Teacher. Shannon spent most of her life dancing in the suburbs of Philadelphia, we met each other when she lived in the Washington DC area for 6 years, and now she is currently living in Arizona. She is a proud alumna of the University of Maryland, College Park, where she earned an MFA in Dance in 2013, and Desales University in Center Valley, PA, where she earned a BA in Dance in 2007. Shannon teaches dance to students from age 2 - 60, from absolute beginner to professional, and has been a faculty member and guest artist at universities, studios, schools, and community organizations. For seven years, she co-directed New Street Dance Group with Krista Armbruster and she went on to co-found the NACHMO/D.C., a hub of the National Choreography Month initiative, alongside the amazing women of Glade Dance Collective. She is active as a teacher, choreographer, coach, adjudicator, and solo performer. She is a blogger and the creator of The Holistic Dance Teacher, helping dance teachers elevate their teaching without sacrificing work-life balance, and creates tools for planning.
