    About Meg A.

    Hi there! My name is Meg and I want to help you gain confidence, get in shape, try something new, or even work on something you’ve been practicing for years! I’m here to help you reach your goals and have fun doing so! I grew up in North Carolina and began ballet when I was three and theatre a few years later. I studied at the Raleigh City Ballet and did pre-professional programs with Carolina Ballet and the University of NC School of the Arts. My love for theatre kept me from pursuing professional ballet and I attended the University of Michigan and received my BFA in Musical Theatre from one of the top programs in the country. Currently I am a teacher, actor, and professional dancer with 10 years of teaching and industry experience. I have a versatile background in numerous styles of dance, acting, fitness, modeling and theatre. I fell in love with performing at a very young age and haven’t stopped since; one of my greatest passions is sharing that love with others! I work with all ages and levels from toddlers to adults, beginners to experts! My lessons are challenging, creative, and lots of fun! I focus on encouraging creativity and recognizing small victories as we work towards bigger goals. Nothing brings me more joy than watching my students achieve exciting things and know I helped them get there. Whatever it is you want to accomplish, let’s make it happen!
