Megan Evans

Owner

Megan's love of dance started early in her life. She began dancing at the age of five, was a part of a competition group in high school, started assisting dance classes at fifteen, and at eighteen began teaching her own classes. Megan has a bachelors degree in Accounting and Financial Management, as well as an Associates Degree in Art with emphasis in Dance. She has taken class from multiple instructors including Stacey Tookey, Allison Holker, and John Crutchman, as well as local classes from various teachers in the Denver Metro Area. She has attended the Boulder Dance Workshop for teachers and continues to take class and further her dance education. She knew from the first time she was an assistant in a dance class that she truly enjoyed teaching. There is no greater joy than seeing that you can affect a young person's life. That is Megan's mission, to not only have a technically solid dance studio but a place that kids feel comfortable and can learn and grow in life, not just in dance.

Megan is a member of NDEO (National Dance Education Organization) and working towards her certification in dance education through NDEO.
