Shannan Holzopfel At age three, I took my very first dance & tumbling class. I came home and announced to my parents that when I grew up, I wanted to be ‘Miss Shannan’! Dream fulfilled!!!! I have degrees in Classical Ballet and Physical Education Management. I taught ballet/physical education to kindergarten & first grade in the public school system before being sent (by the CCU staff) to Terry & Don’s. I am a USAG Level 1-4 certified skill evaluator, U100 & U110 certified and have maintained my USA Gymnastics Safety Certification since 1992 while coaching/teaching. When I started here in 1989, we had about 45 preschool students. From this little group, our business grew and we developed our instructional & competitive team programs. In the beginning, I taught all of our preschool & instructional classes,  coached levels 4-9 and did all optional choreography floor & beam routines. As the business changed, so did my responsibilities.  I became the preschool/instructional director and continue to focus my time & energy on those programs today, while also coaching our developmental levels in the team program.
