Mackenzie Shimon

Teaches at Joy of Motion Dance Center

Mackenzie began competing in dance competitions across Southern California at the age of six, in jazz and tap, frequently placing in first. Before reaching her teens, Mackenzie had performed at Disneyland and many fairs and festivals across Southern California. In her teens, she trained with Emmy- nominated and American Choreography Award-nominated choreographer, Monie Adamson, known for her work with Warner Bros programs: Family Matters, Step by Step, and MAD TV. She worked with Tim Stevenson, known for his choreography of music videos and tours for Jennifer Lopez, Destiny’s Child, and Mandy Moore. While in high school, Mackenzie was asked to choreograph for her high school’s award-winning musicals and her former elementary school’s musicals, both of which both produced Broadway and Hollywood performers. Mackenzie was selected to serve as dance captain and main choreographer for her high school varsity dance team alongside Gigi Torres, who is now one of the industry’s leading hip hop teachers and choreographers. In college, Mackenzie began training and choreographing in contemporary and hip hop. After graduating from James Madison University with a Minor in Dance, Mackenzie began training solely in hip hop in Washington, DC. Since 2010, Mackenzie has performed at The Kennedy Center, The White House, The Verizon Center, and in concerts in NYC, NJ, and PA. Mackenzie has always felt passionate about dance and hopes to help her students of all ages and styles grow, both technically and in their love for dance. Mackenzie is the Company Director of Rhythmix, JOMDC’s youth hip hop company under the H.Y.P.E. Program.
