Trenton School of Dance opened its doors in 1976 under the instruction of former Detroit City Ballet dancer Judy Shamanski-Menna. In 2009, Judy’s niece Meredith Shamanski took over ownership of the studio. Meredith helped build on the legacy that Judy created. During her time as owner she built a competition team, moved the studio into a bigger building (still in the heart of Trenton) and created our wonderful Nutcracker program, that we still stay true to this day. In 2021, Meredith sold Trenton School of Dance to Sarah Renko. Sarah is dedicated to preserving the legacy that Judy and Meredith have created with Trenton School of Dance!
