MELISSA was born and raised
in Prince Albert, Sk. She has
grown to love dance more and more with every step. She has performed in many local companies such as Broadway
North, National Modern Dance Company, and Dare to Dance. She has trained in many styles but Hip
Hop has become her passion. She
has taught to groups of all ages from schools, to studios, troubled youth and
local community centers. Melissa
is inspired as she watches her students grow more and more everyday in their
passion and love for dance no matter their skill level. Dance to Melissa is more than just a
step to a beat in the music. It is
a story of expression from the heart through motion. She is very excited to be able to share what she has to
offer with her students at HSM Dance!
