 It's easy to feel lost or uncertain on how to improve your tap dance routine

I offer Audio Critiques and Choreography Feedback so you know how to take your tap piece to the next level. 

Tired of Vague Feedback at Competitions?

"Cute... It needs more... Get all your sounds in...  Nice... *crickets*... Stiffen your ankles?"

- Unhelpful Judge

Don't get stuck in the middle! 

I will tell you exactly what's working in your dance, what needs refinement,
& where you're losing the audience and judges.

How Audio Critiques Work

Step 1: Order Audio Critique

Click below to get feedback on your tap routine. Add your dance information & questions at checkout.

We then email you a form to fill out where you upload your performance video.

The video can be from a competition or a rehearsal.

Step 2: Meghan Gives Feedback

After receiving your video, Meghan records her voice while watching your performance.

She pauses your video to give longer explanations & thoughts when needed.

The feedback lines up with your dance so there's no confusion.

Step 3: Get Your Audio Critique

In 3-5 business days, you will be emailed a video with Meghan's thoughts & impressions.

Generally, you will get 5-10 minutes of specific feedback. This is much more thorough than you typically get at a competition.
