Ellie Shoja’s Summary
Those who meet me may know that I am friendly and inspirational and that I teach dance lessons. Those who know me, know that I am also a writer in the process of completing a book on dance technique, that I am passionate about art, that I paint murals on occasion, that I can knit up a storm, that I can spend hours on my computer creating websites, flyers, brochure, vector drawings, etc. and that I enjoy brain teasers and puzzles. Those who know me well may know that I know 14 different types of solitaire, that I've never felt boredom, that I am a great teacher and trainer, that I sometimes make jewelry as gifts, and that I have a degree in Fine Arts.
I enjoy wearing many different hats, doing many different things, and continuously learning. The underlying and unifying thread that ties everything I do together is my dedications to pursuing what I am passionate about. And my biggest passion of all, the one that is present in every thing that I have done to this day, and the one that will be with me every step that I take into the future is my Passion for Inspiration.
I have been inspired by life, beauty, and love. It is my deepest and most intimate desire to inspire every person whose path I cross.

Certified Ballroom Dance Instructor.
American Rhythm and Smooth.
My goal as a dance instructor has always been to inspire others to step onto the dance floor and take advantage of all the benefits that dancing can provide. I am patient and thorough. I understand that learning to dance can be a challenging and intimidating process and that having fun on the way will make this process much more enjoyable.
My goal as an educator and writer, is to share my insights into the magical world of dance with as many people as I possibly can. -
