Show & Tell: Eric Michael Morgan of ‘Vegas! The Show’

Hometown: Horsham, Pa.

Age: 28

Started taking dance lessons at age 8 after watching his sister in tap class and mirroring the steps. … Considered other majors (including architecture and veterinary science) during high school but decided to give dance a shot. … Holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in dance from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia. … Performed at Tokyo Disney Resort for three years and for Royal Caribbean cruises for eight months before moving to Las Vegas about two years ago. … Danced in “Jubilee!” before joining “Vegas! The Show” just over a year ago. … Also serves as the show’s male dance captain and thinks he might like to transition into company management when his performing days are over. (“But I’m in no rush!”)

On his favorite style of dance:

“I guess jazz was always my favorite when I started. I think I got to be more of a character doing jazz. Ballet is restrictive, and tap (is) about the sounds and the rhythm. But jazz, I could show more of my personality onstage, and it was a lot more fun, too. I love it (today) for exactly the same reasons.”
