​

My name is Melissa and I am originally from Topeka, Kansas and currently live in Lubbock, TX.  I am a 

dancer, teacher, and choreographer: a person who learns about the world through doing, sharing and creating.

​

I have a BFA in Dance Education from the University of Central Oklahoma and a MFA in Dance from the University of Michigan. I am currently teaching a multitude of styles and subjects at Texas Tech University. 

​

I believe movement is the path to health, creativity, self-knowledge and inner peace. I am particularly interested in Limón technique, Countertechnique, Pilates cross training and how our brains affect our movement.  

​

I am certified in Stott Pilates Reformer, Yoga 200-hr and Countertechniqe. Please see CV linked below if you would like more details.
