Competing in the eisteddfod team here at BDC and also taking part in her class exams Miss Meghann has shown incredible dedication to dance. Did we mention she has a passion for all things Disney? She loves it all most as much as she loves her furbabies! Performing at Disney World twice with BDC on the USA trip and more recently living in Orlando working her dream job at the happiest place on earth!

Meghann has graduated from QUT with a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in Dance (with distinction!) and while she is heavily involved in the studio, she is currently completing her Masters in Primary Teaching.

Teaching Staff:

Tyla Coey

Tyla brings a special presence to the studio through her dedicated teaching. Having danced with BDC for 13 years, Tyla has progressed through the styles of ballet, jazz, contemporary, tap and hip hop. She has performed in the Performance Team for a number of years as well as travelling to USA in 2016 and 2019. This included performances in Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and workshops in New York City.

These experiences have given her a strong appreciation of dance that she reflects to her students each week. Graduating Victoria Point State High School in 2018 as an Arts Captain provided her with an insight into teaching younger students, which is when she knew she would love being a teacher at BDC. Tyla has recently completed the Certificate IV in Dance Teaching and Management and is currently a choreographer for the performance team at Victoria Point SHS. She enjoys sharing her knowledge with every student she encounters and assisting them in achieving their best standards.
