Helping kids express themselves through dance has always been Megan Willard’s dream, and founding Coastal Dance Academy has turned that dream into reality!
Hailing from Beaufort, SC, Megan cherishes her roots in this close-knit Lowcountry town where family values and the nearby beach are central to life. Dancing since she was 3 and competing from the age of 7, Megan's passion for dance runs deep.
Megan earned her bachelor’s degree in Sports & Entertainment Management from the University of South Carolina. As a member of the Carolina Girl’s Dance Team, she competed nationally and performed at football and basketball games. After graduation, she discovered her true calling: teaching dance to children. Since 2018, Megan has shared her love for dance by teaching various styles to students of all ages, from beginners to competitive dancers. Her dedication to teaching has led to multiple choreography awards for solos, duets, trios, and group performances.
Megan is thrilled to work with students who share her passion for dance, and she’s excited to help them discover their unique voices and styles at Coastal Dance Academy!
