meet shawna landers. 🔥
From the vibrant streets of Orlando to the dynamic pulse of LA, dance has always been at the heart of Shawna Landers' journey. She began her love affair with dance as a child and, by the age of 18, she was already guiding others through the art of movement. The allure of LA saw Shawna taking the leap into the professional dance world shortly after. Her innovative spirit led to the co-founding of 'Street Sauce' in Orlando—a unique blend of dance, fashion, and artistic direction.
However, the call of family and the historic charm of Boston soon drew her back. It was in this city that Shawna encountered numerous individuals harboring a latent passion for dance—those who yearned to move but were held back by insecurities. This realization sowed the seeds for SPICE.🔥
Shawna believes no one should be held back by self-doubt or the whispers of an inner critic. Having experienced this herself, she is determined to ensure that others don't dwell on the 'what ifs'. SPICE is more than a dance class—it's a celebration of life, a call to connect, and an invitation to embrace one's unique essence. In the dance of life, every individual brings their distinct flavor, and with Shawna's guidance, it's time to turn up the heat and dance. 🔥
🔥SPICE. is a Boston-based, all-inclusive, beginner/intermediate, self-empowering, hip hop choreography based dance class that’s all about peeling back the layers to unlock folks’ inner BADASS. SPICE. is not only a dance class, it is a recipe for your mental, physical, and social health. The community of support in a safe space with a LFG attitude is the true ingredient of the SPICE. experience. Everyone has their own seasoning, some days it’s cayenne, some days it’s everything but the bagel, but life is never bland- so let’s dance! 🔥
about spice.
“you find out a whole new magical part of who you are as a person and who you can be.”
“i’m always going to places with other people. spice. is the only place i come by myself… and i'm encouraged to be 100% myself. ”
“i never had a place to feel at home - dance wise. i’m not a dancer. i was super intimidated at first, like, "can i do this?” now it feels like home and family every week.”
