Megan Damon

Megan practically grew up with dance, having been started on a wholesome diet of tap, jazz, and ballet. In 2007, despite the vehement protestations of her friends and loved ones, Megan took her first class in Lindy Hop. Megan frequently likes to emphasize that she learned her first swingout directly from Frankie Manning, who instructed her to shake “ba-boom” [sic.] as much as possible. Ever since then, Megan has been in and out of rehab, attempting unsuccessfully to beat her newly-formed addiction to all forms of swing dance. Megan has performed with Baltimore’s Fly Cats, Boston’s Wicked 9s, and is currently an active performer and instructor of authentic jazz dance with New School Swing in Boston.
