About
Ballroom dance is my passion and I cannot wait to share it with you! I love helping my students learn something new, build confidence, and strengthen their abilities. Whether you're looking to learn how to be a better social dancer, need some choreography for a wedding dance, or want to step into the world of competitive ballroom dancing, we can build a program that fits your needs.
During the current COVID-19 crisis I am offering online dance classes via Zoom, FaceTime, Skype, or other platform of your choice that allow you to learn alone or with members of your household. I am offering my full-length lessons for $45 ($15 off). Let's keep moving, keep dancing, and add some joy in these uncertain times!

Megan is seriously so great! We were so nervous to take dancelessons for our wedding, as major beginners. She’s definitely was the right person to put us at ease and meet us where we were at. So patient and sweet. Couldn’t recommend her more. She made it a fun and enjoyable experience and was very good at keeping us on task. We will likely continue to take lessons with her after our wedding because of how fun the experience has been so far.
Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • What my teacher recommends • No, I do not have choreography in mind • No experience • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

We took a privatedancelesson from Megan to prepare for our first dance at our wedding. She had already choreographed a dance for us before our lesson with such short notice! The dance was easy to pick up for beginners like us so we were able to replicate what we learned on our wedding day! It was so fun. Megan was so sweet and patient with us. We would highly recommend her!!! Totally worth it!!!
Details: Two (ex. me and my partner) • First dance • Latin • No, I do not have choreography in mind • No experience • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Megan was amazing to work with. We hired her to teach us a simple dance for our wedding and she went so far above and beyond our expectations with what she was able to accomplish with us. I was very nervous to dance at my wedding and did not feel remotely confident in learning how to dance, but Megan instantly put me at ease with her kind demeanor. She is patient and fun to be around. My partner and I were very pleased with the end result and we got tons of compliments on our first dance. Thank you!!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rate includes my teaching fee ($55) plus the floor fee I owe the studio per lesson ($15). Singles, couples, or semi-private groups of 3-4 people pay the same rate with the cost split between each participant.
I also offer package deals. Book two back-to-back lessons for $130 (one 1.5 hour session) or purchase a package of 8 lessons for $480. Lesson packages are non-refundable but never expire.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our first lesson together we'll talk about the goals you have: would you like to dance socially, are you interested in competing, do you need choreography for your wedding dance or other event? Depending on your level of experience, I'll then introduce you to a variety of ballroom dances. Moving forward, we'll focus our efforts on developing one or two dances of your choosing and build from there. The frequency of your lessons will be determined by your goals, interests, and budget and we'll work to build a program just for you!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
From my initial introduction to partner/ballroom dancing, I was learning how to teach. I helped run my university's on-campus swing club and developed the basic skills necessary to communicate information effectively to my students. I got to see individuals who had never been on a dance floor grow into competent dancers and develop a new passion!
Now, as I've relocated to San Diego and begun my professional journey, I have had the opportunity to be trained by top professionals and former champions not only for my own dancing but for my teaching as well. I've learned how to help students develop a strong foundation that will help them be successful no matter what their goals are and continue to hone my teaching skills as I work with my fantastic students!
