Melissa trained as a classical ballerina at the Maryland Youth Ballet under the direction of Tensia Fonseca and Michelle Lees. She also attended various summer intensive programs, including Miami City Ballet, Kaatsbaan Extreme Ballet, and Maryland Youth Ballet’s Summer Intensive with Susan Jaffe. She performed as a soloist with MYB and is now very excited to dance on campus with both PUB and diSiac Dance Company. Bottom line: Melissa dances!
