During his performance career, he found acupuncture allowed him to recover from injuries and surgeries quickly and efficiently. Balancing western orthopedic principles through the lens of East Asian Medicine, Shane is trained in multiple styles of acupuncture and uses an integrative approach to custom-tailor every treatment for each individual. He offers acupuncture, electro-acupuncture/E-Stim, cupping, gua sha, and asian body work.  As both an athlete and a cancer survivor, Shane respects and understands how powerful and effective treating the whole person can be when helping someone heal. Shane has been honored to work with such organizations as the Radio City Rockettes, Peloton, Barry’s, countless Broadway shows, professional dance companies, and Olympic-level athletes and is excited to offer his integrated style of acupuncture to the dancers of Denver.

Shane is a former professional dancer from New York City. He has toured extensively with the prodigy show Tap Kids and was a member of the Steps Repertory Ensemble. He was a leading member and soloist with the Sean Curran Company for 9 seasons. Shane was also a member of Ben Munisteri Dance Projects and Alison Chase/Performance. Alison was the founding female artistic director of Pilobolus and Momix. In addition, Shane toured internationally with Pilobolus' Shadowland. Film credits include: Step Up 2: The Streets.  As a dance educator, Shane has been on faculty at Steps on Broadway, and NYU Tisch, and has taught and adjudicated countless dance competitions and conventions over the years.

Shane is passionate about working with dancers as he has had to navigate the healthcare system as a hyper-mobile dancing athlete. He deeply understands the immense physical and mental strength it takes to train and work as a dancer. He believes every dancer's healthcare team would benefit from a trauma-informed, holistic approach to sports medicine.
