For 10 years Ms. McGhee operated a professional dance school and a 30-member dance company as part of a community outreach program through the Claremont Neighborhood Center (Bronx, NY). Since 1979 she has produced and co-produced theater showcases dealing with social concerns at venues such as Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Aaron Davis Hall at City College, Rutgers University, Tiffany Hall and numerous studio locations throughout the tri-state area. She has also promoted many free-lance and established dance companies and artists such as Gallman's Newark Dance Theatre and the Batala Dance Troupe.

As a free lance instructor and choreographer she has taught master classes and workshops at Bayonne Youth Center (Bayonne, NJ); MIND Builders (Bronx, NY), the Young & Gifted Performers' Workshop (Brooklyn, NY); Rising Spirits, Djoniba Dance & Drum, and West Side Dance Project (New York, NY).

While she has created numerous works with young people in mind, the focus of her choreography has always been "male/female" relationships and empowering women through the stories depicted in her choreography. Her style has often been described as "spiritual," "impactful" and "provocative."
