Testimonials:
"Free for an hour or two! In Tiggrr's class that's how I feel.."
-Caroline
"Meaghan embodies dance – she is dance manifested in human form. While she
flows with an enchanting grace and ease on a dance floor, the most marvelous
aspect of her gift is the ability to teach the spirit of dance. In a single
class, she transformed my world of dance. Guiding us to ignore the stimulus
around us, to ignore the sound of our voices inside our heads and to listen
only to our personal heartbeats – we identified our own personal body
rhythm. Slowly I awakened and moved each part of my body as my natural
rhythm guided me, flowing around the room. An hour later a room full of
experienced and inexperienced dancers realized we were dancing in harmony
guided by our internal rhythms without any music around us. We are all
taught to dance to music, but when you can move through your own natural
rhythms, you bring dance into every aspect of your life. Listening to my
body, I can now coordinate my mind, body and soul through any situation.
Meaghan has taught me to be fearless, to listen to myself and most
importantly, trust myself in dance – which has spilled over into my everyday
life. I hope the universe grants me another class with her..."

"Meaghan's class leads you through a natural dialogue with your body and the
music. She creates a safe space for exploration as you reach inside and
allow your body to become a tool for greater expression. In a world where we
often communicate our desires in words, this class allows us to open up and
dive fearlessly into deeper understanding of what truly moves us."
-Heather
"When I tried Meaghan’s “Fearless Waves” class, at first, I thought “What am
I doing here?” “Why is everyone on the floor?” Very soon I was swept away by
the music, and on a journey that I am still dreaming, still dancing.
That one experience was so transformative, that it leads me back, over and
over again. How could something so simple, be so miraculous? The playlist
was so emotional... Meaghan moved about like a pixie on fire, letting us
know that whatever we did was divinely perfect. She encouraged us to be our
natural wild selves! We move around in sacred space, in utter abandonment,
letting go of form ... allowing our authentic dance come into the light.
I have since explored various varieties of trance dance, continuing to heal
my body, spirit and mind. I credit Meaghan for starting me on the path of
discovery of how
evolutionary this form of dance is. I sweat my body, my mind becomes clear
and my spirit soars. Music and dance has the power to heal the soul. This
dance is pure
therapy. I thank Meaghan for holding space for our sacred journey and by her
by example of fearless movement. She is humble, sweet and guided by source
and creating magic on the dance floor. She is a healer."
