INSTRUCTORS
STEPHANIE - Owner/Instructor
Hi, I'm Stephanie owner and instructor of SHiNE™ TRIBE 5280 in Southeast Denver, Colorado. I consider myself a lifelong learner which is why I love learning and teaching new dance routines to my backup dancers. I am a big believer that fitness should be something that you enjoy, not dread. I found my passion with dance fitness, I love hitting the dance floor and performing for an hour, all while burning calories and building muscle. I've been teaching group fitness since 2009. I hope to see you in class soon!

CLAIRE - Instructor
Hi, I’m Claire, an instructor for SHiNE™ TRIBE 5280 in Southeast Denver, Colorado. I was born and raised in Colorado, and my husband and I have three amazing kids who I am privileged to homeschool here too.
I was recently certified as a SHiNE Dance Fitness™ instructor, but I have been taking SHiNE™ classes since 2020 when I absolutely fell in love with it. Exercise is a really important part of my life, but my real passion is for dance and dance fitness. I believe it is an excellent way to express yourself and an amazingly fun way to stay in shape. It is even more fun when we can all dance together on the dance floor, so I would love for you to join me! I hope to see you soon!

Jennifer - Instructor
Hi, I’m Jennifer (or Jenn), an instructor for SHiNE™ TRIBE 5280 in Southeast Aurora, Colorado. I found SHiNE™ back in 2020 during the pandemic & began taking classes online with Stephanie. It’s always enjoyable going out dancing with friends & the hip hop songs took me back to my high school days. It was so much fun to learn the moves while getting a great workout in! I began thinking about becoming an instructor in 2023 & took the leap to get officially certified in April 2024. It is very important to me to find a community that is supportive & uplifting, which is exactly what we stand for. I’m so excited to continue to build our tribe!
In addition to being a dance fitness instructor, I spend the majority of my time working from home as a surgery scheduler. It can be stressful at times & the hours can long so it’s nice to have a break to move my body. Hand in hand I am an independent consultant with a wellness company. Teaching people about health & self care is something I’m truly passionate about. Between all those things I set side time to spend with my husband & two kids. We enjoy crafting, playing board games, watching anime, roller skating & getting outside during the summer.

ONAH - Instructor
Hi, I’m Onah, an instructor for SHiNE™ TRIBE 5280 in Southeast Aurora, Colorado. I discovered SHiNE™ in 2024, and it was love at first class. It provides a safe place for all fitness levels to move and celebrate your body and spirit through dance!
After taking classes for a year, I became eager to become more involved in this wonderful dance fitness program and received my SHiNE™ instructor certification in April 2025.
My commitment to find space for self-care, which combines joy and fitness guided me to SHiNE™, and now I have the honor of sharing this with you. I can’t wait to meet you all on the dance floor and let your inner divas SHiNE™!
