Miss Shelby developed her love and passion for dance at the age of 5. Since then, she has been trained in styles such as ballet (I.S.T.D, R.A.D, and Cecchetti), tap (Al Gilbert, I.S.T.D, and A.D.A.P.T), jazz, lyrical, modern, contemporary, musical theatre, and hip hop.

Miss Shelby has been sharing her love of dance and movement with her students of all ages for over 15 years. She believes in the holistic development (mind, body and soul) of the whole dancer to ensure the safety and longevity of each student. Her love for movement has extended to include Pilates and Yoga, allowing her classes to have infusions of this work to help strengthen her dancers. She is also a certified Progressing Ballet Technique, Acrobatic Arts and Cecchetti Junior Grades Instructor, Usui Reiki Level 1 and she also holds a Bachelor of Commerce.

Her passion for dance has also led to the creation of Debut Dance Events, an event company providing dancers the opportunity to compete and perform around Alberta.
