Megumi Kageyama
 
 
 
 
 
Born in Tokyo,Japan in 9/21/1973. Blood type B.
I've moved 6 times for my father's business, and started tapdance
when my father was transferred to NY. I was 8 years old at that time.
When I returned to Japan, and several years have passed,
I graduated Waseda University.
I  also started to learn Jazz dance for Reiko Suzuki from then.
 
Meanwhile,I visited NY for a short term,and took several tap workshops and lessons.
 
And then,I become to perform as a professional solo tap dancer.
 
In 2002, I stayed in NY for a while, taking tap lessons from
'Alan Onickel','Mike Minery'. Improvisation lessons from 'David Gilmore'.
 
I came back from NY, and  I got my own style *' Meg-Tap '


         * Meg-Tap is a style which has both essence of 'Theater Tap' and 'Rhythm Tap'.



Now, I perform at shows, stages, and also teach, and hoping that 'Tapdance' goes into public and make it popular in Japan.


I think that Tapdance is one of the greatest entertainment that goes through both
'eyes' and 'ears'.
To take large steps,and to be a great entertainer,I'll always be keep practicing, forever...
