Melody grew up in Pennsylvania where she started her own dance studio in 1976. It was named “Melody’s Dance Studio” which began at the Trachsville Fire Company. She then moved it to Palmerton, and even ran the studio out of her own home! She finally started renting the location as we know it today, here at Route 209 in Brodheadsville, PA. After an amazing 27 years, she decided to move to Florida where she still teaches Adult Tap.
