Welcome to the North Shore Senior HS Dance Department
Meet The Teacher - Ms. Angela Upshaw
Angela Upshaw has always had a passion for dancing. She began taking dance when she was 5 years old, following in her older sister's footsteps. She continued her love of dance through middle and high school, where she was a four year member of the Channelview Channelettes, holding the offices of Social Officer, Jr. Co-Captain, and 2 Year Sr. Captain. Angela completed her undergraduate degree at Texas State University, where she was a member of the Texas State Strutters Drill Team. Angela received a bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, with certifications to teach EC-6 Generalist ESL, and Dance 8-12.
Becoming a high school dance teacher and director has always been Angela's ultimate career goal. From 2014 to 2016, Angela was the Assistant Director of the Channelview Channelettes, and in 2017, she started the first dance team at Highlands Jr. School. Angela is currently the Assistant Scarlet Director, Dance Teacher, and Artistry in Motion Dance Company Director at NSSH. Dance has always been a huge part of Angela's life, and it makes her happy to be able to share her passion with others. She is very excited for this year as a part of the Scarlet Organization and North Shore Dance Department!
