Jaime and Shauna
Jaime and Shauna have been dance friends since the 1990s. Jaime is an award-winning choreographer and has been teaching dance for more than 30 years. Shauna still takes class with Jaime every week.
After decades of seeing how much studio owners manage behind the scenes, they created Canada Dances to support the people running studios across Canada.
Jaime brings deep industry experience from a lifetime in the studio, while Shauna wanted to put her MBA and entrepreneurship background to work building resources that help studio owners run stronger, more sustainable businesses.
Canada Dances exists to support dance studio owners with practical advice, tools, and resources that make running a studio a little easier.
