Murphy Kludt

Instructor: Tap and Hip Hop

Murphy Kludt grew up in the Portland, Oregon area. She took her first dance class at 2 and was immediately enamored. From there, she trained in all styles including hip-hop, tap, jazz, contemporary, and musical theatre, but had a strong emphasis on hip-hop and tap. The bulk of her training was spent at MVP Dance Elite where she danced competitively. She trained on RAW Dance Crew, which gave her a lot of great experience in hip hop, as well as a lot of knowledge about the competition world. Since then, Murphy has been teaching for 2 years and has found a genuine love for helping students grow and allowing them a safe place to learn and be themselves. She is currently working towards her Bachelor’s degree in Social Media and Media Management at Oregon State while continuing to teach and be involved in the dance world.
