Shannon's School of Dance

Shannon Silkey founded Shannon’s School of Dance in 1974. The studio quickly flourished building a reputation in the community for its outstanding dance instruction. Located at 560 Diamond Avenue in Town Center for over 30 years, Shannon’s School of Dance has instructed several generations of students.
In 2002, former dance student and instructor, 22 year-old Michelle Crosbie was hand picked by Shannon to take over the studio when she retired the same year. Michelle has been at the helm since then. An accomplished dancer, painter and instructor, Michelle is involved in many charity events with Shannon’s and her own dance team, SassSquad.
Today, Shannon’s School of Dance is one of the preeminent dance schools in The Tri-State. With several hundred students ranging in age from 3 to adult, Shannon’s School of Dance offers tap, ballet, jazz, acrobatic, hip-hop, lyrical, and ballroom dance classes as part of its well-rounded program.
As a compliment to its exceptional training, what sets apart Shannon’s School of Dance is an intangible, enduring sense of community and camaraderie that exists among students, parents and teachers. Shannon’s provides a quality dance education within a nurturing and supportive environment in the same manner today as its inception over 40 years ago.
