For our final introduction, we have our amazing studio owner, Miss Suzy!
1) What does your dance background consist of? (where did you grow up dancing, companies you may have been part of, etc.)
I grew up dancing at Becky Schneberger’s Dance studio and have also taken class at MN Ballet. I competed as a teen and also found my true passion as a teacher and choreographer during my high school years. I began Shooting Stars Dance in 1999 teaching in various schools throughout the area. In 2013 I purchased Becky’s Dance when she retired and incorporated those students into our SSD family. I have done extensive continuing education in early childhood development and competitive dance, working with many judges to learn the ins and outs of the competition world. I am Acrobatic Arts Certified, Alixa Flexibility Certified, Discover Dance Certified, have been certified as a personal trainer along with various other certificates and trainings over the years.
2) What do you like to do in your free time?
Free time? I’m a dance studio owner, I don’t get free time! 😜 But when I do I like to spend it in the sunshine and with my family.
3) What’s your favorite food?
Tacos
4) What’s your favorite drink?
An Americano, no flavors, sometimes a splash of almond milk
5) What’s your favorite place you’ve ever been?
Costa Rica
6) A word of advice for our dancers
The most important thing you can ever get out of dancing is not a score or a trophy. It is the lessons you learn by failing and trying again, the relationships you build with your classmates, the work ethic you discover in class and the pride you have in your accomplishments. The connections you make with classmates and teachers will be some of the most important of your life.
