Shan'Tyia Hairston is a program director for Piedmont United Family Services. She is a member of the praise dance team at Bethel Way Church of Christ. She was surprised when she was asked to participate in Dancing for the Arts, but is excited to have fun dancing and giving back to the community.

Maurice Breedlove has been dancing for fun since 1979. He plans to compete “to the highest level” as his family and friends cheer him on. He wants the competition to bring their A game, because he’s “in to win.”

Shan'Tyia and Maurice are the first daughter-and-father team to compete in Dancing for the Arts. They are coached by Janeka Hairston. Their assigned dance in the competition is the cha-cha.
