You Obviously Haven't Seen Shawn Byfield...
If your idea of tap dancing comes from old black-and-white Fred Astaire movies, you obviously haven't seen Shawn Byfield. The local tap sensation's fancy footwork moves to an R&B/soul groove, and his influences come from the contemporary street, not the urbane nightclub.

My Friends Have Noticed A Difference...
"I watched my younger sister week after week learn the artistry of hip hop dancing. I decided to give it a go myself and found out about Shawn B's class. The class has surpassed all my expectations. It is undeniably enjoyable.
Shawn is able to bring a great level of unruly energy to the class that is heightened by his charisma. He creates a great vibe within the class, intensifying the FUN factor.
Not only that, but my friends have noticed a difference in my step on the dance floor when we go out for a night on the town."

I Have Become A Lot More Confident In Myself And My Talent...
"Although I feel there are many things I have learned from Shawn's teaching and overall way of life, I could sum it all up by saying this.
When I met Shawn, I was transitioning from being a full time competitive student at a really great studio, to someone who just wanted to keep dancing.
Shawn not only gave me somewhere to do that, he has also enhanced the training I already had by giving me some new and creative choreography and technique, as well as, and this is the best part, showing me how to let go of the training to let the style and the moves I had within, come out.
With Shawn's help, I have become a lot more confident in myself and my talent, and I have been inspired time and time again to continue to use my dance experience. Thanks Shawn B, you're one of the best!!!"
