"Megan's interviews are the best of it's kind online"

  ......... Alexei Ratmansky

Megan Fairchild is originally from Sandy, Utah, where she started dancing at the age of 4 in a studio that taught tap, jazz, and ballet. Megan quickly found her love for ballet, and at the age of 12 focused her training at Ballet West Conservatory. At 16, Megan moved to New York City to study fulltime at the prestigious School of American Ballet. After only one year at SAB, Megan was accepted into the school's affiliated company, New York City Ballet, and quickly rose to the rank of principal dancer, two and a half years after her first company class.

 

As a seasoned principal dancer for 16 years, Megan also serves as a faculty member at the School of American Ballet, and is currently pursuing her MBA studies at New York University, Stern, to secure her future professional goals.
