Bengal Bio: Shelly Stringham Rudd


Since the good times at BHS, Shelly graduated early to dance professionally for Odyssey Dance Theatre. While dancing she also went to school at UVSC, SLCC, and then graduated with a Bachelor's in Human Development and a minor in Nutrition from the University of Utah. She also began a career in fitness in 2002. She started to personal train in Pilates, certified in several formats of group fitness classes, and ran 3 marathons.

Later, Shelly moved to Las Vegas to work as a corporate flight attendant. She loved it, but it makes flying commercial a little rough. When fitness and flying around the country on a jet became a little boring, she auditioned for the hit realty TV show "So You Think You Can Dance" in the summer of 2008. She made it to the final groups at the crazy intense Las Vegas week.

Shelly finally met the man of her dreams at his local business, Red Mango. It was love at first sight! She married Jon Rudd exactly one year later in June of 2009. They were blessed with a "honeymoon baby", Ryder Rudd in April of 2010 and couldn't be happier. Jon owns the famous Red Mango franchise in Utah and also works for his own firm as an entertainment and securities attorney. Shelly still teaches fitness classes at Lifetime Fitness and Xcel Fitness. They live in South Jordan Utah and love it!
