About Megan S.
I have been taking dance classes since I was five years old, and I am now thirty-four. That's a long time. I got my first teaching gig at fourteen. I have studied ballet, tap, jazz, Scottish Highland, and ballroom dancing. I worked as a dance teacher at MacKinnon Dance Academy and Jill Johnson's Dance Studio in California teaching Scottish Highland, jazz, and ballet. I went on to work at Arthur Murray in Ventura, California, becoming a certified ballroom dance instructor. I moved to Utah where I recently graduated from BYU with a bachelor's degree with a minor in Ballroom Dance. I also worked there as a student instructor teaching beginning and intermediate level social dance classes.
I love teaching dance because it is sharing what I am so passionate about with others. Wherever you are on your path, I hope you'll allow me to play a part in that journey.

Megan is a wonderful teacher!! I always look forward to my lessons with her. She is very encouraging, always asks me what I would like to do, and is happy to go over things multiple times or slow done if need be. Every class is so much fun!! ~Kay

She is very warm and encouraging as well as, of course, very knowledgeable and skilled. She is helping me to work on exactly the refreshers that I need, as well as to acquire skills and steps that I was never able to master.

My daughter was excited to learn more after her lesson. She has already set goals for future lessons with her instructor.
