“Learning from Melvin gave me a more positive outlook on life...Dance helps me express myself and helped me let go of a lot of negativity.”

“I had always wanted to give dance a try but never had the courage to take the first step...At times, I had to dance through the fear, but it turned out to be an experience that taught me one of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned to this point...Fear doesn’t keep me safe — it keeps me stunted. So now, I don’t retreat in fear. Instead, I remember the fun, fulfillment and freedom I've found on the dance floor, and I dance, right on through to the next adventure... Dance was the perfect teacher for learning this lesson because the only way to fail at dance is to refuse to try.”

“I really enjoy being a student of Melvin's. Our lessons are always very fun and i can tell i'm improving as a dancer a lot thanks to his guidance.”

"Melvin is the perfect combination of talent, professionalism and teaching ability. I feel like if I could have interviewed every single dance instructor in NC, I still would have ultimately chose Melvin. He’s that good."

"My wife and I have been taking lessons from Melvin for several months and have been delighted with his coaching. We've been able to develop skills far beyond our expectations."
