Ranita Hollinshed
Ranita has been dancing for 13 years training primarily in hip hop. Starting her dance journey at the age of 12, Ranita began taking classes at Westlake Dance Center. She instantly knew that she found her passion in dance and later decided to join her high school dance team, Shorecrest Hip Hop at the age of 15. In 2017, Ranita decided to take a break from dance to focus on work and her future. By the end of August 2018, she realized that dance was supposed to be her future and began taking classes again. Aside from hip hop she enjoys training in the following styles; contemporary, jazzfunk, commercial dance, Afro, popping, and house. She currently still continues to train at Westlake Dance Center and takes private lessons from instructors in the community. When Ranita is not training you can find her teaching at Duvall Performing Arts where she has been an instructor for the last 3 years and coaching at Shorecrest High School as the Hip Hop team's head coach. Ranita hopes to continue teaching and training for as long as she can and eventually run her own dance training company for teens.
