About
Helping people discover a new hobby brings me great joy! It's truly amazing to connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds through shared interests. As a dedicated gamer and anime/manga aficionado, I'm particularly drawn to geek culture. However, I understand that ballroom dancing can appear daunting to beginners, which is why I make a conscious effort to create a welcoming atmosphere.

I reached out to Melinda to schedule a 90-minute refresher session on basic dance steps for our Bride/Groom - Groom/Mother dances. My wedding is just around the corner and I wanted to feel more confident on the dance floor. Melinda's demeanor is so welcoming and she has a way of making everything feel easy and stress-free. I was initially apprehensive, but Melinda's presence instantly put me at ease. During the session, she demonstrated the foundational movements and provided guidance as we practiced. It was incredible how much we were able to learn in just 90 minutes. I am now feeling ready and excited to dance at my wedding. I am not exaggerating when I say that Melinda is truly amazing. My name is Kevin and I attended a lesson with her just two days ago. I highly recommend Melinda for anyone looking to improve their dancing skills. Give her a try and you won't be disappointed.

My first experience with dance was nerve-wracking, and I had no clue what I was doing. I had intended to observe from the back and gauge whether or not I could handle it when Melinda arrived. From the beginning, she was warm, invited me to join, and had patience with me. She even convinced me to come onto the dance floor that night in my flip flops, despite my never having danced before! The first thing she taught me was the Waltz box, with clear and understandable instructions. One thing she said stuck with me: rather than being a destination, dancing was a journey, with building a solid foundation and mastering the basics being essential. That night was pivotal in my life because I had found something that I loved and cherished. Melinda has provided me guidance on this journey, and with a year of instruction from her, I have come a long way. She has made learning fun, and her unique approach to teaching dance is quite exceptional. Her passion and professionalism are apparent, and her influence on me has been immense -- I am even contemplating participating in amateur/professional competitions this year. Thank you, Melinda! You are the best person to lead anyone on this exciting journey.
