Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Oklahoma native, Megan Murray, began tapping when they were 8 years old. While most tappers grew up in the inner cities, Megan grew up on a large ranch in central Oklahoma. 

Megan has been under the directorship of Professor Robert L. Reed until his passing in July, 2015. As his protege, she has danced with or performed the choreography of some of tap's greatest including Jason Samuel Smith, Karen Calloway Williams, Bill Irwin and Cathie Nicholas, to name a few. Megan has studied the history of America's first unique dance style - tap, which originated from slaves as a form of communication. It is one of their many goals to keep tap alive by teaching, choreographing and performing the tradition of tap. "…I'm so glad to see you continue to carry on his legacy (Robert L Reed) and I think you are the best one to do it..."; Diana (Lady Di) Walker.
