About Shana Keeler
Shana Keeler started dancing at the age of 7 with Miss Gilmore at Step Ahead in Heald Green and continued performing exams, competitions and championships until she was 16 years old. At 16, she joined Preston Dance College and underwent one-year training in Advance 1 RAD ballet and I.S.T.D exams in tap, ballet, modern and national dance.
Shana Keeler auditioned and joined Phil Winston’s Theatre Works College in Blackpool and took a 3-year dance and musical theatre training course, as well as taking advance standard I.D.T.A exams. She demonstrated her modern work to the I.D.T.A examiners while completing her teaching exams.
Shana also found her passion towards teaching and taught dance for her friend in Altrincham for more than 3 years. Later she decided to start her own dance school to share her skills. Her dream to open her own school has now come true and is amazingly growing.
