Support Shannon Dooling-Cain

I am dance educator, choreographer, writer, and dance mom who is passionate about transforming the dance industry through a Holistic Approach to Dance Education. Your support allows me to share strategies, tools, and resources with dance educators, choreographers, and dancers around the world through my blog, social media, free newsletter, and collection of affordable dance resources.

With nearly four decades of dance experience, I know the transformative power of dance. Dance instilled in me important skills like determination, accountability, and creativity that I use on a daily basis. But I’ve also experienced how dance training can have a negative impact on physical health, emotional well-being, and a dancers’ sense of identity and self-worth.

Over my 20 year career as a dance educator and choreographer, I’ve learned how to do dance differently - emphasizing the powerful positive benefits and minimizing the harm that can come with dance training. I’m on a mission to create a more joyful dance experience for all through a holistic perspective to dance education and choreography - and your support makes that possible!

Funds that I raise from Buy Me A Coffee will help cover essential (and rising!) business costs like website/blog hosting, social media tools, and newsletter sharing services. Any additional funds support the process of writing, creating, and sharing the benefits of a Holistic Approach to Dance Education through a variety of free and low-cost options.
