Megan Minturn is a dancer and active teaching artist. She has taught with the Diavolo Project: Nebraska and currently teaches African dance with African Culture Connection and ballroom dance with The ARTery’s Dancing Classrooms program. Minturn teaches yoga in Omaha and has taken her dancing skills and knowledge to classrooms throughout the state.

Minturn has used dance to offer arts education opportunities to students, especially in minority-majority areas. She helps students gain self-confidence, trust, and a new way to learn about and express themselves. Not only does she examine the physical and mental benefits of the movement of dance, she has used other fine arts and crafts, such as making mancala boards, as inspiration to study the country of origin and gain a greater understanding of different cultures.
