My name is Shantil and I have been in either dance classes or gymnastics since middle school. My very first job as a 16 year old was coaching gymnastics, and I moved on from there to go teach surfing for a summer at Camp Surf after high school. I went in a different direction for a bit stepping away from dance before becoming a mother myself to two beautiful children (one boy and one girl) that I have been able to stay at home and raise for the last 4 years. I am so excited to be back at my roots in dance and gymnastics coaching new little ones on how to safely have fun dancing and tumbling around! I teach Dance Stars and All Star Gymnastics.
