Meet Our Team!
Michelle Winters
Michelle started dancing in Illinois when she was just four years old and, as a child, she fell in love with the freedom and empowerment that she found on the dance floor. She continued dancing into her twenties and beyond with jazz, tap, ballet, hip hop, and even ballroom dancing with her husband, Jeff. In 2015, Michelle certified to teach another fitness program, but she was still searching for the kind of dance that she loved as a kid. When she discovered SHiNE Dance Fitness, she knew this was the program that she wanted to teach, but more importantly, she knew this was the program that she wanted to share with others. She certified to teach SHiNE in 2019 and never looked back!
​
*In addition to bringing SHiNE Dance Fitness to Ann Arbor, Michelle also brought SHiNE and SHiNE Light to the broader A2 community through the AAPS Rec and Ed Program in 2024.
As the SHiNE Tribe in Ann Arbor has grown, she has seen first-hand the effects of these classes on her customers. Of all the benefits dancing brings to her life, this has been the most rewarding.
When not teaching dance fitness, Michelle is a passionate community activist, though she can most often be found in her vegetable garden, traveling with her husband, or on the deck doing the New York Times crossword puzzle...in pen.

Her favorite SHiNE routine is Man I Need by Olivia Dean.​

Callie Feyen
Growing up in Chicago during the Michael Jordan era, there was only one thing Callie wanted to be: a Luv-a-Bull. Callie is as shy and as introverted as they come - and not an athlete - but there was something bold and confident and sassy and strong about dancing. Callie didn’t believe she was any of these things, but she believed if she could dance, she would feel them.
She was right.
Callie danced throughout high school on the Oak Park and River Forest Drill Team, and even though her college didn’t have a dance team, that didn’t stop Callie from enrolling (and maybe enforcing) her friends to be a part of her DIY dance troupe. After college, Callie taught step aerobics at the University of Notre Dame, but it wasn’t until her friend Bree texted her about SHiNE and declared, “This class screams you,” that Callie was pulled back to that girl who knew that if she danced, she would feel bold and confident and sassy and strong once again.
SHiNE put the sparkle back into Callie’s life.
Callie is the author of two books: The Teacher Diaries, and Twirl, and she is an Adjunct English Professor at Washtenaw Community College. She holds a BA in Education from Calvin University, and an MFA in Creative Writing from Seattle Pacific University. One day, she hopes to dance on pointe - even if it’s just one pas de bouree.

Her favorite SHiNE routine is Slay by Everglow.
