Ballet - Beginners 90 min.

Megan teaches various ZhemFit classes at Zhembrovskyy. “Losing my ability to dance due to injury was devastating. Teaching helped me heal in many ways and has enabled me to continue my passion of expressing emotion and meaning through movement in a new way. I live with a mindful and holistic approach and love helping others find joy and value in movement by exploring musicality, coordination, and intention combined with aesthetics. Zhembrovskyy is a warm, safe, and inspiring environment to explore and grow in, in both body and mind. The possibility to learn, cultivate, and flourish is accessible to all.” - Megan

Before joining Zhembrovskyy, Megan worked as a ballerina for eight years at the Dutch National Ballet (2010-2018) and prior to that at the Boston Ballet (2004-2010).
