Shauncee Johnson is currently a full-time nursing student looking forward to becoming a Registered Nurse.  Shauncee has been dancing for the past 18 years and has had the opportunity to study a variety of styles including tap, jazz, hip hop, lyrical and ballet.  She began dancing with La Danz’ Studio of Marion, Indiana at the age of 3 where she studied under Jamie Bragg and Missy Gunning who are both instructors at CSA.  With La Danz’, Shauncee participated in a number of competitions and took classes from many well known choreographers.  She also had the opportunity to perform during halftime at a number of Indiana Pacer Basketball games and the John Wooden Classic.

Tremaine Dance Conventions and New York City Dance Alliance are just a few of the conventions Shauncee has attended.  She also studied in Chicago at the Chicago Human Rhythm Project.  Just a few of the well-known choreographers she has studied under are Diane Walker, Sam Weber, Mia Michaels, Dan Karaty, Laurie Johnson, and Jill Powell.

When the Community School of the Arts was established, Shauncee was a student for two years.  During her last year, Shauncee became one of the first to teach as an apprentice teacher under Jamie Bragg at CSA.  Under the guidance of Jamie, Shauncee learned a lot about what it takes to become a positive role model and mentor to so many kids.  She is now extremely proud to be a full-fledged member of the CSA Dance Staff.

Shauncee has truly enjoyed her time as a teacher at CSA thus far and is thankful for the opportunity to share her love for dance with others.  She is looking forward to continuing her dance education and is also very excited about teaching another year at CSA. Finally, Shauncee would like to thank all of her students’ parents for allowing her to be a part of their lives and dance education.
