Meghan Walther, from Waterford, VA, began dancing as soon as she could walk: first, twirling around her room and then at the Loudoun School of Ballet in Leesburg, VA as a pre-ballet student. Since her early dancing days, Meghan has loved all facets of classic ballet, from the pink tutus and tiaras to the physical movement and the discipline of the art. Meghan has been classically trained in ballet for 16 years, jazz for 8, and modern for 4. She has trained with Ballet West, Sarasota Ballet, and Richmond Ballet over the summers and competed at Youth American Grand Prix, New York City Dance Alliance, and West Coast Dance Explosion. Meghan has performed in full length performances for the Loudoun Ballet Company as Clara and the Sugar Plum Fairy in “The Nutcracker,” Myrtha in “Giselle,” Aurora in “Sleeping Beauty,” Kitri in “Don Quixote,” and Odette in “Swan Lake.” Although ballet has always been Meghan’s number one passion, she is excited and honored to be able to explore various forms of dance and arts through the Miller Arts Program and Dance Minor at the University of Virginia.
