What they're saying about Shea Sullivan's teaching

Shea Sullivan has motivated my students and taken them to a new level of interest. Her enthusiasm, energy and amazing style make her class challenging and fun. Shea is creative and one of the most intense teachers I have met in my 30 years as a teacher. Her choreography is brilliant; she can turn the average competition student into a winning act.
