Megan began gymnastics at the ripe old age of 4 at the Geelong Gymnastics Centre where she flipped her way for 11yrs to level 8 National.
It was there she discovered her love for dance when she joined 'Gym danze' a group which combined gymnastics and a bit of hip hop.
Regular performances at the Supercats basketball games and in the annual 'Wish on a star' concert helped her develop the passion for performing.
It wasn't until her late teen years where she started dancing and teaching hip hop for Aerosport All Stars. There she teaches several crews of all ages to a national competition level as well as being apart of the crew 'Urban Chaos' which were recently crowned with the national title in Sydney this year.
Making the top 60 on 'So you think you can dance' season 1 was another highlight of Megan's dancing career and opened up a lot of opportunities for her.
Megan also dances for Hollabak DC, a strictly all girl crew who perform in major events such as the Australian Dance Festival, Sydney Carnival, Groove and Battlegrounds, Step off and Youthmania.
When Megan's not teaching rehearsing or performing you can usually find her dancing in the corridors at the Geelong Hospital where she work as a full time nurse or bending it like beckham alongside her soccer team, the North Geelong Warriors!
It wasn't until January this year when Megan's sister bought her to a casual Pole class and she instantly became addicted! After winning her first pole dancing competition she simply wanted to learn more, more and more!!!
Megan loves Pole dancing because she believes it's a great way for women to boost their confidence and self esteem in a super supportive environment as well as get fit and toned at the same time!!! If this doesn't make you instantly hooked to pole, Megan believes her whacked and crazy personality sure will!!! There's nothing better then making people feel good about themselves and seeing people achieve!!!
