Ms Meghan lives, breathes, and loves dance! She was 4 years old when she stepped into her first dance and it's been her life's focus ever since.
Ms Meghan has trained in Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Modern, Lyrical and Improvisation both recreationally and competitively and has won countless awards and accolades for her performances and - the really cool part! - for her choreography.
Ms Meghan loves nothing more than introducing children to the joy that dance can bring. Her teaching helps her students to excel technically while guiding them in their exploration of the many facets of the art of dance, including dance history, audition skills, anatomy, choreography/composition and more. Her commitment to offering her students the best dance education possible shows not only in their personal dance accomplishments but also in the positive energy and atmosphere in the studio. In fact, Ms Meghan considers the many happy, smiling faces on her dancers to be her greatest success thus far! Email Ms Meghan.
