Our Story

Aspiring Attitudes, Inc. got its start when the parents of a child with cerebral palsy were unable to find a dance studio that would accept special needs students. The parents were referred to Shannon Wrights, a classically trained dance instructor with experience teaching students with special needs. Their daughter thrived under Mrs. Wrights' teaching, gaining increased self-confidence and ease of movement. Over the next 10 years, more special needs individuals wanting the opportunity to dance were referred to Mrs. Wrights. As time passed, Mrs. Wrights sought to develop a dance program where special needs and typical students would take classes side by side. Therefore, she also began accepting typical students. At this time, approximately half of Mrs. Wrights' students have special needs. All students now share the stage at an annual recital as well as performances at local assisted-living centers, arts festivals, and other community events. Mrs. Wrights previously taught students out of her home in a room specially designed as a dance studio. In the fall of 2017, she opened a dance studio in a new facility. She now has over 65 students participating in her dance classes. With the opening of this new facility, Aspiring Attitudes is able to grow and provide more special needs and typical students with the opportunity to realize their dreams of dancing.
