Shanda started teaching dance 30 years ago and created generations of dance teams. Cowgirls, Lady Like, Lil Mamas & Big Daddies, and The Sparkle Dance Factory all fall under Mz. Sparkles umbrella.

Dancing wasn’t her only interest. In addition, she hosted several ‘Upstate Idol’ & ‘Sunday’s Best Idol’ shows to support singers in the Upstate.

She’s done so much for the youth and community when it came to giving back, fundraising, and entertainment! Her love for children was out of this world and her impact on them will never be forgotten!

Her children, family, friends will keep her legacy alive.
