Megan Tatum was born in Chester, VA, and began dancing at age 3, quickly quit to do gymnastics, was afraid of the balance beam, and tried dance again. Thankfully the second time it stuck!
Megan trained under the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus at the Chesterfield School of Ballet while completing summer programs at the University of North Carolina School for the Arts and the School of Richmond Ballet. She graduated from Appomattox Regional Governor's School for the Arts and Technology as a dance major with a focus in modern dance choreography and performance.
Thinking that dance was behind her at age 17, Megan moved to Williamsburg, VA to attend the College of William and Mary. She started down the Pre-Med track but discovered a love for musical theatre. Megan designed a major titled Integration of Dance, Music, and Theatre Performance with a double major in Kinesiology and Health Sciences with a concentration in Health Sciences Pre-Physical Therapy. She holds a B.A. and a B.S from the college.
Megan began performing professionally at age 20 as the dance swing at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. She continued to perform professionally throughout college and beyond working with companies such as...
Olney Theatre Center,
Virginia Repertory Theatre,
Barter Theatre,
Mill Mountain Theatre,
Midtown Arts Center,
the Lost Colony at the Roanoke Island Historic Association,
Rawhide Theatre,
DraMAStic Danceworks,
Virginia Musical Theatre,
North Street Playhouse,
Compass Rose Theatre,
Riverside Center for Performing Arts,
and Alluvion Stage Company.
When not performing, Megan has worked with many physical therapy companies that work with the major Broadway and ballet companies such as the New York City Ballet and American Ballet Theatre. She has assisted physical therapists backstage on shows such as Matilda and Wicked.
Her newest adventure is running The Miller Studio with her husband, Ben. This studio offers private voice coaching as well as dance, acting, and audition classes. At The Miller Studio, we truly believe in helping people develop themselves in an environment that is safe, purposeful, and honest, so that, one day, we will all live in a world where these are commonplace. Join us for a class at our Carytown location in Richmond.
Megan has been blessed with so many amazing opportunities to share the stage with others and looks forward to imparting her knowledge with students and fellow performers. She has extensive experience as a dance captain and swing and strives to share her passion as a teaching artist grabbing hold of new opportunities at every turn.
