Shayna Thostenson-Werner

Associate Diploma

Dance has always been a part of Shayna’s life. She grew up as a competitive dancer in a variety of styles – competing both in groups and as a soloist. She stepped into the ballroom world in 2022 initially to prepare for my wedding, and has been hooked ever since. She was certified to instruct and began teaching in 2025. Since becoming an instructor, she has competed both with students and with professional partners.

Her favorite part about teaching is sharing her passion for dance with others. She loves watching her students gain confidence in their dancing, whether they are preparing for their wedding, learning dance as a hobby, polishing steps for a competition, or dancing as a form of mental and physical exercise.
