Megan Thornton

Miss Megan Thornton is thrilled to be starting her second season as an instructor at Dance Express! Megan began dancing at the age of three and over the years developed her technique in all areas of dance. Studying ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, modern and lyrical forms of movement, Megan has cultivated her understanding and love of dance. While attending Hewlett High School Megan became captain of the dance team as well as dance director of the highly regarded event, Cabaret Night. Also, Megan choreographed numerous sports night and musical theater dance pieces. In college, Megan worked in various dance studios and camps teaching many local students. Additionally, Megan has choreographed elementary through high school musical productions in the Valley Stream school district over the past three years.

Megan recently graduated Adelphi University with a BA in English and a MA in Elementary education. Currently, Miss Thornton works at the Kindergarten Center in Lynbrook. Megan also coaches the Lynbrook Kickline. It is Megan's love of dance and the students she teaches that make her classes exciting and educational. Megan believes that it is just as important for students to learn to love dance as it is for them to learn dance technique.
