Shawn is an Orem native that has been performing since his days at Vineyard Elementary School. He has been on stage at SCERA several times starring in Seussical the Musical as the Cat in the Hat, Wizard of Oz as Scarecrow, The Big Friendly Giant as the BFG, Plaid Tidings as Jinx and A Year with Frog and Toad as Frog. Shawn is also a sought-after director and choreographer. As a high school sophomore, Shawn took his first ballroom dance class and fell in love with it! That started him on a path that would include ballroom dance in his life. Shawn danced for Mountain View High School Ballroom for 3 years, for Utah Valley University Summer Ballroom Team, and was the teacher/coach for Orem High School Ballroom for 5 years. Shawn feels that ballroom dance is great for young and old people because it can teach them confidence, social skills and coordination.
