“There are so many great things to say about Meghan. The knowledge that she has is incredible, but it goes way beyond that. She is an incredible tap dancer, whose musicality is insane. She gives her students so much more. Her feedback alone is so far beyond anyone else. She keeps things moving so you don’t feel like you are stuck repeating the same exercises over and over again. We have known Meghan now for a few years and we are so grateful every time our paths cross. Without a doubt, you get more than you expect when working with Meghan.

Who is caTAPult for?

I've been judging dance competitions my whole adult life. I've scored over 50,000 pieces at this point! It's a joy to see dancers thrive on stage and tell their story through their performance. 

There are so many times that I see a dance that's almost there. If only they would make a few small adjustments, be more dynamic or be more themselves. As a judge, I only get 2-3 minutes to give them feedback during their routine, and then it's on to the next one.

I've created caTAPult to give you the extra bit of insight and preparation you need. It's designed for tap dancers, because it's so hard for you to get helpful feedback and direction.

I don't want to just make your tap piece better. I want to help you connect your performance with those who don't appreciate tap as much.

So, if you love tap dance, caTAPult is for you!
