Meet Megan
Hi there! My name is Megan Long and I am the Owner and Artistic Director of The Introspect Experience. I started visioning and dreaming about this intensive late 2018 and launched introspect the summer of 2019. I felt an urge to design a unique experience that gave pre-professional dancers an outlet to find their own artistic voice and discover who they are as a mover and creator. I found that dancers weren't getting opportunities to connect with their minds and bodies in an authentic and true way. So after a lot of hard work and passion, The Introspect Experience was born. I have the privilege to help awaken dancers' sense of self-love and self-discovery they didn't know they had. Learn more about me below!
