"If you feel something calling you to dance or write or paint or sing, please refuse to worry about whether you are good enough. Just do it" - Glennon Doyle

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY:
In her classes, she strives to create a supportive, communal environment where students not only learn and practice dance technique, but find joy, connection, self-esteem, and personal expression. Melody firmly believes all persons are welcome in her class regardless or race, gender, religion, class, citizenship etc. and deserve a respectful, and safe environment in which to learn.

CLASSES:
Melody is currently looking for a new space to hold regular local classes. However, she is available for private or semi-private lessons. If you are a studio owner, she is also available to teach workshops. Don't hesitate to reach out.
While it is recommended that students have their own skirts, she does have some that students can borrow.
