Welcome Shanley to the Stiletto Dance Studios Team. 

Shanley  has always enjoyed performing, from ballet to tap dance.  Although, Shanley spent most of her youth in competitive figure skating, it wasn't until her 20's,  she stumbled upon pole dance.  After working for a few cabaret style clubs in Portland, Oregon she realized her passion for the art of exotic dance.  Shanley focuses mainly on freestyle and stage performance.  Shanley has trained privately at multiple aerial and pole studios. After her continued education education  in training in the art of dance , she is grateful in having the  privilege of dancing with and studying with some of the top pole dancers, circus performers, contortionists and burlesque performers in Oregon.   


"I enjoyed every minute of my training and can not wait to share my knowledge with my students. I moved to Chicago with the dream of teaching pole and aerial arts to others. With my passion for dance and a wide variety of music, my style is eclectic! I really enjoy the sensuality of pole as well as the physicality. To me, dancing is the ultimate form of self expression. It can be challenging, artistic, sexy, but most of all, its fun and empowering! I want to help my students find their own unique, personal strength and style through pole dance. I like my classes to be open and welcoming to every one of any age, body type."
