Hillary fell in love with dance at a very early age and her passion has continued to grow and develop throughout her life, which led her to starting Shine Studio, a dance-based fitness studio in Redondo Beach, California. Hillary's dance training has taught her the importance of a strong and healthy body, inspiring her to get certified in Pilates and POUND, become a true lover of Yoga, and study nutrition and health in her free time. She attended Loyola Marymount University where she got her B.A. in Dance with an emphasis in Teaching and Choreography. Hillary danced professionally for many years after college and worked for companies like Disney and Holland America Cruise Lines. She also lived and performed in New York, where she trained with some of the best dancers and dance instructors in the world (she even danced with the Muppets!). She is extensively trained in Jazz, Musical Theatre, Hip-hop, Ballet, Tap and also has a background in Cheerleading. Shine Studio has been creating unique fitness formats like PopFit, Move&Tone and The Jump Club for 4 years now! Shine is thriving by creating community within fitness classes and events and changing the way people think about exercise. Working out can be fun, effective and something you look forward to every day!
