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
