SHiNE Dance Fitness™ + UPLIFT Instructor
Michelle has been teaching dance fitness for over three years and has spent the last two and a half years bringing joy, movement, and empowerment to her SHiNE Dance Fitness™ classes. She completed SHiNE’s comprehensive training program, which includes an in-depth evaluation process, and is certified in multiple SHiNE formats:

Before stepping into the fitness world, Michelle was an elementary school teacher for over 15 years. Her experience as an educator shines through in every class—she is clear, encouraging, and completely invested in her participants’ success and joy.
Michelle’s classes are known for being inclusive, empowering, and fun. She creates a safe space where everyone is welcome to show up as their authentic selves, move at their own pace, and experience the magic of SHiNE—no judgment, just love and great music.
Come dance with Michelle—you’ll leave sweaty, smiling, and feeling stronger inside and out! 💛
