Born and raised in Ohio, Melody began her formal training in gymnastics, cheerleading, and dance. Her ambitious spirit and relentless work ethic led her to begin performing professionally as soon as she graduated high school. 

 

Dancing and choreographing in the NBA, NFL, and AFL allowed Melody to travel to Korea, Iraq, China, Kuwait, and the Philippines. She continued to grow in her passion by performing in commercials, live performances, and theatre, including the Tony Award Nominated Broadway Show, Bring It On: The Musical. 

 

After moving to Atlanta, GA from New York she has used her professional experience and driven mentality to connect with the dance community, mentor and train youth dancers, as well as provide job opportunities for fellow dance professionals. Most recently she has been in development projects with Georgia High School Association (GHSA) and Atlanta's professional hockey team, the Atlanta Gladiators (ECHL), as well as Damsel Supperclub. 

 

Melody works with professional dancers, dance teachers, choreographers, judges, and creative directors through her recruiting company, Elevate Dance. Melody's mission is to show and evolve how dance can be a professional career choice.
