Megan Oko
Megan has had a remarkable passion for dance ever since she saw her first ballet, The Nutcracker as a child. She loves to express a story or style through her body while listening to inspirational music. She enjoys stylized dancing, jazz, contemporary and athletic dance and puts her own spin on pieces of choreography. She danced ballet, jazz and modern competetively for numerous years and also competed in various festivals around Canada. In Calgary during high school, she attended the pre professional program for a year at the Alberta Ballet School where she worked hard to improve her technique. It was there that she determined that a career in dance and the arts was what she wanted. Back home in Ontario for Grade 12, Megan began taking acting and singing seriously and performed in and choreographed musical numbers in plays such as West Side Story and Jesus Christ Superstar at the Grand Theatre in Kingston, Ontario. She went on to graduate from George Brown College in the two year dance program and trained with Karen Andrews, a Toronto performer turned Studio Director. There, she taught jazz dance and assisted with stretch and strength classes. Megan receives a lot of satisfaction from instructing children and youth in dance and is energized by their enthusiasm. She performed as a fosse dancer in numerous pieces in the Toronto Jazz Festival in 2009. Megan also trained at theatre school for a year and felt she became a more well- rounded performer. She continues to take numerous acting and dance classes to push her limits and perfect her technique. Megan is a proud Canadian artist, an excited new company member and cannot wait to shake things up with LR productions in the future!
