WHO IS

MS MELODY...

Hi! Thanks for stopping by. Here's a little backstory on who I am... Let's start from the beginning- I was born in Newport Beach but raised in Ontario CA. During childhood I was introduced to art in the forms of Music, Dance- even Cheerleading. There's something special about the creative mind that I have always been so intrigued by. These interests really paved the path for me to live a life doing what I love most: 

​

Spreading joy and providing encouragement

in the most creative spaces!

​

After years of performing competitively and professionally on stages from California, Florida to Japan, filming TV and commercial segments, live entertainment and a decade of owning my own Dance Studio - I have settled down in my new hometown of San Bernardino. It is here that I'm able to teach dance at a few different studios, raise my 3 beautiful children, spend time with my incredible family and focus on some of the God-Given talents that bring joy to others.

​

One of those is Photography. I began taking photos in 2015 at my family's dance studio. Seasonal Recital Photography has transformed my life and given me a passion I never expected. In the past I would only focus on dance photos, but that one area of photography has opened so many doors & for that I am forever grateful. 

​

Since the closing of our family's dance studio, I am also left with the beautiful opportunity to help others. I remember being so overwhelmed by the never ending to-do list. With the knowledge of owning a studio, teaching all ages and levels, familiarity with genres and business maintenance  I now have the goal of using those areas of expertise to help ease the stress of my fellow Dance Studio Owners.

​

When I was younger a friend told me I could never be 'GREAT' at everything because I focus on too many 'things' ... I believe we can all be great at whatever it is we decide to put our minds and energy towards. 

- To GOD be the glory (forever)
