Stephanie Zilora ~ Public Relations / Line Dance

Our customer relations specialist. Stephanie first started her tenure at Shergold (and her dancing career) as an E-Fit program student in January 2009 and quickly became addicted! She started taking social dance classes several months later and was thrilled to be asked to become part of the staff, as it gave her a legitimate reason to spend abnormally long amounts of time at the studio. As well as manning the front desk and developing our public relations, Stephanie now teaches the line dance classes.
