Melanie

Melanie is passionate about teaching and coaching others as they become the best versions of themselves! Growing up in a dance studio and spending years as a cheerleader sparked a lifelong love for movement and music. While in college, working at a gym helped shape her appreciation for fitness, connection, and community.

After exploring various group fitness classes, Melanie discovered Breaking Barre nearly five years ago, and it quickly became her happy place. She loves the creative choreography, welcoming atmosphere, and the challenge each class brings, leaving her feeling strong, confident, and encouraged.

Outside the studio, Melanie spent over 20 years as an elementary classroom teacher and now serves as an instructional reading coach, supporting students and educators with patience and purpose. She feels truly blessed to spend quality time boating, camping, and relaxing with her husband, daughter, and son. She also enjoys reading, crafting, and cheering on the UCF Knights with her family!
