Dancing Through Disruption

Twelve years ago, Shannon Soares didn’t just move countries — she leapt into a new life.

Leaving behind the fast pace of Los Angeles, she followed a deeper rhythm: one that pulsed with purpose, movement, and the unshakable belief that healing begins in the body.

Today, from the heart of Tlaxcala, Mexico, Shannon teaches more than fitness or choreography.

She teaches freedom.

At Reignelle, we see women like Shannon as trailblazers not because they set out to become one, but because they answered a calling most would shy away from.

She opened her own studio in a country where she had to teach in a second language, navigate unfamiliar systems, and overcome cultural differences with grace.

These weren’t obstacles — they were initiations.

And through them, Shannon became more than a dance and fitness coach.

She became a space-holder for transformation.

From Studio de Baile to every studio in town, Shannon now travels across Tlaxcala to bring movement and health to a wider audience. “People need help to reach their health goals,” she tells us simply and she shows up to meet them where they are.

Because fitness isn’t just about the body.

It’s about confidence.

It’s about presence.

It’s about claiming joy in a world that often teaches us to shrink.

The Power of Being Seen, the Practice of Being Steady

While the fitness wave is rising in Mexico, it’s also revealing something else: that people are craving more than workouts.

They want connection.

They want to feel at home in their bodies again.

And Shannon offers that not just through her coaching, but through the way she moves through life.

Has it been easy? No.

She’s faced anxiety, peri-menopause, financial pivots, and the constant challenge of visibility in a crowded wellness space.

But through meditation, yoga, and her own sacred movement practice, she’s created tools that root her and ripple into her classes.

“I wish I had invested in a better location earlier,” she admits. But like every woman reshaping her path, she’s learning that what truly draws people in isn’t just the place — it’s the presence. The energy. The woman who shows up.

Keep Moving, Keep Rising

Shannon’s journey reminds us that our bodies are maps and our dreams, destinations.

She’s not done dancing.

Not done building.

And definitely not done expanding the community that now surrounds her.

At Reignelle, we honor women like Shannon who don’t wait for perfect conditions — they create from the core. They move through fear, build with heart, and turn challenge into choreography.

If you’re ever in Tlaxcala, we suggest you find her class.

It may just change the way you move and live.

She’s Still Dancing and We’re Cheering

Shannon Soares is proof that you don’t need permission to build the life your soul is asking for.

You just need presence, courage, and movement.

We’re proud to spotlight her story and celebrate the women rewriting what it means to rise in rhythm.
