Megan Evans
Dream Dance Studios Owner
Megan's love of dance started early in her life. She began dancing at the age of five, was a part of a competition group in high school, started assisting dance classes at fifteen, and at eighteen began teaching her own classes. Megan has a bachelors degree in Accounting and Financial Management, as well as an Associates Degree in Art with emphasis in Dance. She has taken class from multiple instructors including Stacey Tookey, Allison Holker, and John Crutchman, as well as local classes from various teachers in the Denver Metro Area.

That is Megan's mission, to not only have a technically solid dance studio but a place that kids feel comfortable and can learn and grow in life, not just in dance.

Hey I'm Jenna Postell and I started dancing when I was nine years old at Colorado Dance Center in Littleton, CO. From my very first trial class, dance became a love language of mine! I started with hip hop, then added jazz, ballet, and lyrical. I also was on my high school's poms team for one year where I loved dancing at basketball games the most! After I graduated high school, I moved to Eugene Oregon where I continued to dance and began teaching. My very first teaching job was my freshman year and I was teaching at an afterschool program at an elementary school. I also started the very first dance team my school ever had with one of my good friends. Now I am honored to teach here at Dream alongside my wonderful sister Jay. Dance is a deep love of mine and I am privileged to have the chance to share it. I also teach preschool during the day!
