Through this program, we help students gain self-confidence and self-esteem and also give them the opportunity to cooperate and work with others. They learn basic dance movements, such as marching, skipping, galloping and pointing their toes. The creative nature of the class also helps the students learn about the different types and styles of music they can dance to. The 10 month program culminates in our annual performances in June at the Winnipeg Centennial Concert Hall where every student has the opportunity to perform and shine like the star they are. https://shelleyshearerdance.ca/lb-tap daily 0.75 2025-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6060a36baeb5a4342fd62770/1623622313225-J8NMYF53XKDD5IRX3FB0/Tap.jpg Tap - Tap Tap dance is distinct style of dance. Tap focuses on intricate footwork to create rhythms and sounds made with metal taps on the soles of the shoes. Tap is known as an American art form with influences from Ireland, England, Africa and even the West Indies. Tap is like playing drums with your feet, requiring its students to develop fine motor skills, balance and control, Tap is a challenge for both the mind and the body. Like other forms of dance, Tap is continually evolving and exploring itself within the genre. In level 1 Tap/Jazz, beginner students experience the perfect introduction to Tap while learning beginner Jazz steps to incorporate into their movements. As students become more advanced they’re able to create faster and more intricate sounds and rhythms. If you or your child loves to make noise or follow the beat with your feet, then Tap is for you. Every student’s year culminates in the annual performances in June at the Winnipeg Centennial Concert Hall. We’ll see you on stage! https://shelleyshearerdance.ca/rachel-cooper daily 0.75 2024-10-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6060a36baeb5a4342fd62770/1662414436956-M3BELOW9LQ6JX2AMVMKD/Rachel+Cooper.png Miss Rachel Cooper - Rachel Cooper Instructor Rachel Cooper is an independent choreographer and teacher.

This is a class for the most uninhibited entertainers who love to perform. Our professional teachers instruct students on how to excel and reach their full potential. Early level students are taught how to support their voices with proper breathing techniques, practice musical scales to develop pitch and do exercises to help vocal control. In the acting portion of the program students explore various characters, dialects and accents and are helped to develop stage presence, confidence and characterization. As students progress our instructors work on further developing their skills by improving pitch, tone, enunciation, projection, breathe control and much more. We take great care in selecting challenging and age appropriate Musical Theatre excerpts for each class. The season culminates in our year end performances in June at the Winnipeg Centennial Concert Hall. We’ll see you on stage! https://shelleyshearerdance.ca/lb-prep-steps daily 0.75 2025-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6060a36baeb5a4342fd62770/1623623082407-9SG251W4WMCVH4Y4S5JQ/PS.jpg Prep Steps - Prep Steps For 5 Year Olds The Prep Steps program is our opportunity to challenge your 5 year old by exposing them to not just one style of dance, but four. Uniquely developed at the Shelley Shearer School of Dance over three decades, Prep Steps offers a glimpse into pre-primary Ballet, Jazz, Musical Theatre and Tap. Each one hour class is divided into three modules with one dance discipline taught in each. This is designed to keep your child’s attention while also enabling them to focus on the challenges provided within each style. In pre-primary Ballet, students learn posture, muscle control and awareness. It is the first gentle introduction into the art of classical Ballet. Intro to Jazz exposes the student to this more contemporary dance style using music that spans the 20th century to today’s current hits. Musical Theatre is an exploration into not only dancing, but singing and acting. Students learn basic singing skills such as breathing from their diaphragm and acting exercises such as miming. Intro to Tap is not only fun for the feet, but also a challenge for the mind. The 10 month program culminates in our annual performances in June at the Winnipeg Centennial Concert Hall. At the performance, students in Prep Steps combine all of the disciplines explored with their Tap shoes in tow. https://shelleyshearerdance.ca/robert-boge daily 0.75 2025-09-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6060a36baeb5a4342fd62770/f6d5945f-df7e-4ce4-a146-dc948761a578/Rob+Boge.jpg Robert Boge | Co-Director - Robert Boge Co-Director Robert has had a very exciting dance career.

Since it first emerged in New York City in the 1970s, Hip Hop has spread all over the world and captured the imagination of kids and adults alike. Hip Hop as a style of dance is full of very urban and contemporary movements. Done in street clothes as opposed to dance clothes it is a more natural style of dance that takes in everything from old school Hip Hop moves such as popping, locking, ticking and waving to break dancing and krumping and whatever new styles emerge. At the Shelley Shearer School of Dance beginner students explore Hip Hop through various exercises that showcase all that Hip Hop has to offer. Classes are available for all skill levels and age groups. In each class students emulate some of the dance moves they see in music videos and popular shows, but in an age appropriate way. Being appropriate, but also fun is very important to us and we ensure that all music and movements taught in each class are reviewed beforehand. Students also learn many of the other skills that Hip Hop develops, such as coordination and musicality. In addition to regular classes, students are offered workshops from famous Hip Hop dancers and choreographers which help their ability to pick up and learn new styles.

Since 2021, she has focused her training primarily on hip hop, developing a deep love for the style. Throughout her years at Kickit, she has competed at multiple competitions and has been recognized with scholarships and awards. She is also a member of the hip hop crew Sikat, with whom she has competed at hip hop competitions across Canada. Beyond performing, she has travelled throughout the country to take classes from renowned choreographers, further expanding her knowledge and passion for the art form. As she has transitioned from dancer to assist and now into teaching/choreographing, Kaleigh has become especially passionate about sharing her love of dance with the next generation. Her teaching style focuses on inspiring confidence, creativity, and growth in her students. Outside the studio, she loves to travel—most recently backpacking through Southeast Asia for three months—and looks forward to many more adventures both in dance and in life. https://shelleyshearerdance.ca/elizabeth-muhr daily 0.75 2025-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6060a36baeb5a4342fd62770/081f6464-42da-4862-ad14-9ab334200caf/Elizabeth+Muhr+-+2025.jpg Miss Elizabeth Muhr - Elizabeth Muhr Assistant Coming Soon! https://shelleyshearerdance.ca/hannah-zakaluk daily 0.75 2025-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6060a36baeb5a4342fd62770/8e1b9b81-203c-4d74-8b5c-d39e3d71735a/Hannah+Zakaluk+-+2025.jpg Miss Hannah Zakaluk - Hannah Zakaluk Assistant Coming Soon https://shelleyshearerdance.ca/robert-pili daily 0.75 2025-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6060a36baeb5a4342fd62770/500d7af8-ccda-482c-bc23-376dc9a79988/Pili+darker.jpg Robert Pili | General Manager - Robert Pili General Manager Pili, as he’s known in the performing arts and dance community, is thrilled to officially join the Shelley Shearer School of Dance team as General Manager.
