Feet of Fire! began in 2006 as the newcomer, but premiere, dance facility on the Delmarva Peninsula. Through our five years of operation, we have grown exponentially and now enjoy the most state-of-the-art dance facility in the region. Our dancers come from all ages, and our choreography is winning us prizes and awards from all over the United States. We remain a loyal part to our Salisbury, Maryland community and are active participants in the majority of the local festivals.

Miss Jensen Byers

Staff

Miss Jensen Byers is also completing her second year as an FOF faculty member. Her sweet, kind disposition makes her a favorite with all our younger dancers.

  • Kendal, 5, started dancing at FoF in June of 2013. She was excited yet very shy at first. But, with Ms. Shaun and the other teachers' patience and encouragement, she opened up very quickly. Her love and passion for dance grew very fast.

    Kayla Ragan

  • The staff is compassionate and talented which is passed down to all of FOF's students. We couldn't ask for a better dance family.

    The Shoemaker Family

  • The love and respect Ms. Shaun gives the girls, while continually challenging them to be their best, is what makes her so special.

    Christy Jones

  • The music is cool; the costumes are pretty. Miss Shaun and her staff are really nice and they help make everyone feel like they have a special part even if they don't know the technique and everyone's skills are different.
