About Melanie Burkhart

Birthday:

May 14th

Three Phrases that Describe my Dance Background:

1. I studied at Encore as a student. My love of dance began right here, where I now have the opportunity to teach. My love for dance was home grown right in these studio walls, which has made teaching at Encore so rewarding.
2. After high school, I attended De Sales University, graduating in 2010 with a BA in Dance.
3. I’m currently studying for my grade VI Cecchetti ballet exam. I love to move and learn. Challenging myself with these exams has been both a fun and humbling experience.
