My daughter has been with Shely Pack Dancers for over 7 years now and we love the studio! The teachers are amazing and take the time to foster each student's growth as dancers, as well as team mates and friends. And the level and skill that I see at each performance is inspiring! Can't recommend Shely Pack Dancers enough! <3

This is our 4th year with the Shely Pack Dancers and I couldn't be happier. Not only are my daughters being taught by the best teachers, they are also learning life lessons and part of an amazing dance family. Their attention to classic dance and respect for others is amazing! They went above and beyond to make the appropriate changes during this pandemic and created a safe atmosphere so our girls were still able to dance. We are forever grateful we are a part of this dance studio and family.

My daughter has been dancing at Shely Pack since 2016 when we first moved to half moon bay. She was 8 then and had a little experience dancing. Miss Shely and Miss Grace welcomed her into their studio, and her dance team and coaches have become like her family. She learns tap, ballet, jazz, modern/contemporary, theatrical and hip hop. It’s a small Coastside studio where everyone knows your name!

The teachers at Shely Pack Dancers go out of their way to support the individual needs of the dancers. This was especially important this year with a mix of virtual and safe in-person options. All of the teachers and staff are great but Tamara, in particular, has gone above and beyond to support our daughter. We have been so impressed!

Shely Pack Dancers is my favorite place for dancing. This place is great because you can get up and do something. Another great thing about it is that there are so many different types of dance, like Hip-Hop, Ballet, Acro and Tap, with many others. It is also awesome because it is by the harbor, which is amazing. We wear outstanding costumes at our shows, we get to perform at a beautiful theater. The teachers are thoughtful because they find the things you have to work on and something you're good at. So many fantastic things have happened. I absolutely love Shelly Pack Dancers.

We are new to Half Moon Bay and when my daughter Ashley wanted to dance the only studio folks recommended was Shely Pack Dancers. Ashley and I love this studio! Her main teacher is Miss Grace who she absolutely adores and Miss Grace has been just wonderful with Ashley. This past summer Ashley was able to attend her first Dance Masters National Convention in New Orleans which was an absolute joy for her. It was the highlight of her year. She has danced in Nutcracker and various recitals and just loves performing. Because of the hard work of Miss Shely, Miss Grace and let us never forget the wonderful Miss Wendy dancing for Ashley has been such a positive experience. I highly recommend this studio for anyone looking for a place for their child to dance!

I made the commitment to bring my daughter to Shely's 10 years ago based on the level of dance and the recognition the Shely Pack Dancers have achieved. I live 35 miles from Half Moon Bay and at times would drive there 5 days a week. Seeing all the dancers that were Title Holders and then went on to Broadway and other work as dancers was why I choose the Shely Pack Dancers.
When my Daughter applied to colleges last fall, having the skill set that Shely has taught her, the choreography from Grace for her solo and the recommendation Shely provided her made her a standout in the thousands of application they received. She was accepted into every College Dance program that she applied to.
The Shely Pack dancers are regarded as highly skilled dancers and the Dance community recognizes the Shely pack Dancers and their commitment to training and education.
Thank you Shely!
