XU Spotlight: Megan Duronslet


With a mother who was a dancer, Megan Duronslet was born dancing in the womb. From a very young age, she had the abilty to perform starting at nine years old. At that age she was on St.Mary’s dancing team, St. Augustine’s Cheerleading Team, and she danced at church.
The love she felt for dancing at an early age carried into her more mature years at Xavier University. Her drive continued, in 2006 as a freshman, she became the only freshman to be on the Gold Star Dance Team at Xavier University. Now four years later, she is the captain for the Gold Stars. Their performances include coronation ball, a pregame performace they will be doing at the Hornet’s game during Homecoming, and community service in Hammond, Louisiana.
Before Hurricane, Katrina, Duronslet’s family owned a dance studion called Dee’s Studion. Though it has not been reopened, her goal is to reopen the studio because she wants to share her passion of dance to others. Through dance she has learned many things about herself and most of all to stay humble.
