BAJAN SUN MAGAZINE DEC 2014 MEGGHAN MICHAEL - DANCER / ENTREPRENEUR T wenty beautiful years ago life was given to Dancer/ Dance Teacher/ Entertainer Megghan Michael. I am a full time dancer. I started at the age of three when I was introduced to dance at nursery school. At the age of seven I joined Dancin’ Africa dance Company where I was trained in mostly Traditional Folk and African dance. However, I was also trained in modern, jazz and contemporary dance in my later years. My 13 years as a member of Dancin’ African under the leadership of Ms Jennifer Sealy, has opened many doors and opportunities for my accomplishments in dance. I have moved on to be a freelance dancer in hotels such as Mango Bay, Sandy Lane, Crystal Cove, and Bouganvillea; just to name a few. It should be noted that I have always danced in my church as a soloist and also with the church’s liturgical group. My dance portfolio has become very colorful over the past three years where I began to choreograph and teach younger children and now I have taught groups such as Dancin’ Africa Children Core, Gentle Steps Dance Academy, Warrens Primary School and St. Leonards’ Liturgical Group. Besides dancing I am also a cheerleader in Trident Elite and was Cheer Captain from 20122013 in the UWI Cheer Squad. Opportunities were available 2
