Dance isn’t about just memorizing steps.
It’s about communication, trust, and presence.
​
At Red Phoenix Ballroom, I help dancers understand movement, build real connection, and develop confidence that carries beyond the dance floor.
What Clients Say
"Melinda is an amazing instructor with a deep passion and understanding of dance. She's fun, witty and always up for a challenge (especially if you have two left feet as I do). She has nudged me along and helped me to challenge myself to new levels. I highly recommend her as an instructor if you're at all interested in learning to dance. She makes if fun and interesting and breaks it down into small manageable pieces. Just a genuine dedicated person. Definitely give her a call and schedule a lesson."
