I will be continuing my dance education through college and doing auditions for College Dance Teams. I would like to pursue dance as a professional dancer with a professional sports team one day. Dance is a passion on mine and I am grateful I get to share my love of dance with others through teaching. I am excited to be teaching alongside my parents, Ms Sarah & Mr Stephen and my grandmother Ms Jeanette.

Megan Turrey

Hey there!! I’m Megan & I have been coaching for the past 13 years. I started straight out of competitive gymnastics in Helendale CA when I was 17. I coached competitively for 2 years and realized I wanted to venture out for something else. I started coaching tumbling on its own and lyrical expression, using movement as medicine in San Diego CA. From there I started taking circus arts classes and would later teach , but that was all a dream to me at this point.

I moved and had to start again, I was lucky to find XTC in Eagle Rock CA where I taught Tumbling & Aerial Silks/Lyra, this had been a passion for sometime and I will forever be grateful for my time spent there. I moved on to teach tumbling private lessons in Hollywood & Malibu, CA for several years. Then we made the move back to my hometown. I expanded my knowledge of child development and started teaching not only tumbling but so many multi faceted things to ages ranging from 6 months-13 at My Gym High Desert, maybe we met there ♡.  My little girl was born and changed so much for me and I’ve found my home at Dance Dynamics in Hesperia CA, where I teach Tumbling.

My philosophy is children learn best when you’re at their level. I am always learning, always evolving. These kids teach me more than I’ll ever teach them, for that I’m eternally grateful.
