Megan E.

Why you love dance? I absolutely adore dance because it allow me to be happy and stress free. Within this environment, I am capable of temporarily relieving myself of pressure. In all honesty, being in the studio or with my dance family brings out another side of me.

Favorite dance related memory? I believe my favorite dance related memory would have to be our 10th Annual Production. Although I love every production that the studio hosts, I think this show in particular stood out to be because I feel like I have grown so much. I thought that I have improved a lot during this time, therefore it really stuck with me.
