Melinda began her training at Broadway Dance Center’s Children and Teens program on the Jamison Novello Scholarship. As a performer, she has shared the stage with The Verdon Fosse Legacy, performing the iconic number "Who’s Got the Pain?" from Damn Yankees, and has collaborated with creators such as Parth Sethi, Steven Blandino, Kevin Jenkins, Aspen Waddell, and Nicole Fosse. As a choreographer, Melinda is deeply inspired by the relationship between music and movement—crafting work that highlights the dynamics between rhythm, pitch, and instrumentation.

Customized to meet your needs!
Contemporary Fusion: This class begins with a flow-based warm-up and stretch to connect breath, body, and movement. Dancers will then explore improvisational prompts before moving into choreography. Each class will dive into a combination that emphasizes textures, dynamics, and musicality, while encouraging dancers to discover fresh movement pathways and expand their expressive range.
Improv: In this class, dancers engage with guided improvisational prompts designed to spark creativity and reveal new approaches to movement. Each session varies, offering unique challenges and opportunities to deepen self-expression. After each exercise, dancers will reflect together, sharing discoveries and insights about their experience. The class concludes with an open improvisational jam, allowing dancers to continue exploring, exchange inspiration, and learn through both movement and observation.
Dance on Film: This class bridges movement and media, offering dancers the chance to explore performance for the camera. After moving through guided exercises, dancers will finish with an on-camera session in a supportive, low-pressure environment. The focus is on developing confidence, adaptability, and film-ready presence. Dance on film can be taken as a stand-alone class or added onto a Contemporary Fusion or Improvisation session for an integrated experience.
