“Movement is a journey of self-discovery where you can forge meaningful connections and experience a profound sense of fulfilment and wonder. 

“We listen too much to our minds and not enough to our bodies. We can often achieve far more than our fear will allow us. Allowing your body to flow awakens a different side to you, and I continue to love helping people discover this.”

London Dance Academy Feedback

“I’d give Melissa’s class a 6th star if I could.”

“Melissa’s classes are fantastic! perfect balance between professional and fun atmosphere.”

“Melissa is a wonderful instructor, so warm and attentive; accommodating an injury I have with adjustments/alternative stretches. The class was unlike any splits class I’d been to before in the best possible way infused with gentler yoga moves whilst still pushing and getting results for deeper and more aligned splits.”
