Biography

Shannon Moore is from a small town in North Carolina. Because the town is so small, it has the same zip code as High Point, the furniture capital of the world. She now lives in New York City and she has a twin sister who is far from the entertainment industry. Who said twins had to be alike?

Shannon started dancing, her ultimate love, at the age of 6. Her dance training led her to a debut on television with ABC and soon after with ESPN. Dancing linked to a desire for stage and theatre. When she started theatre performing, she always had to be the lead role. After years of professional work, she has learned to be grateful for the small roles, which can always be big in some eyes.

Encountering the different cultures and capturing the differences of life styles is intriguing to her. Along with the culture comes the food, which Shannon enjoys tasting. She is all about putting this spice or ingredient into that food and who knows what it will taste like. It may not be the best entrée, but it all goes to the same place, your belly, right?
