All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience had by the students of Melissa.
Deadly! Awesome
Deadly! Fantastic tutor. Ascertained what lesson aimed to achieve, Looked over our material prior to lesson and had choreographed a section to complement existing routine.
We did our session online and found Melissa to be charismatic , interactive and child- friendly, checking in on my little one regularly. We also laughed a lot.
I thought she was fab. Would readily recommend!Deadly! I had a session for Movement tape for the audition for drama school. I was so struggling as I have nearly never done any movement-related sessions in my whole life.
She gave many ideas and respected my thoughts to collaborate to make a nice video piece. And she is not only professional at dancing, and also at acting. So I got many tips for little gestures I could take into video.
And guess what! I got a recall audition from the school. Thank you, Melissa!!Deadly! Really fantastic leeson
Deadly! Mellisa was always kind, friendly and supportive when teaching under extremely difficult circumstances. They worked hard and made sure all the lessons and choreography was tailored to me and my needs. They were incredibly easy to work contact if I needed help outside of lessons. A brilliant dancer and teacher
Deadly! Melissa was great, fun energetic and taught some great new moves!
Deadly! Melissa is wonderful to work with, very inspiring, professional, attentive and fun
Deadly! Melisa has been teaching me for several months now and I have really enjoyed our weekly classes. I have become a more creative dancer as we explore new concepts, musicality, movement and styles. One of my favourite parts is when we get to discuss about ideas and different interpretations of music; and how we could use different body parts to express the different layers of the track. It's Melisa's fun and explorative approach to dance that makes her great dancer and teacher.
Deadly! Melissa is a charming, calm, skilled teacher who really enjoys breaking everything down and takes pleasure in the progress we are making together. I didn't think I could get so far so quickly but with Melissa's encouragement and patience I'm learning a lot and feeling real changes in my body and confidence. Her joy for dancing is contagious. I really love my lessons. We do them on zoom and they're the best part of my day while in quarantine. I'll definitely continue afterwards but I have to say it's making indoor fitness a pleasure and a fun challenge right now. I feel really lucky I found her. Thanks for everything, Melissa! Xx

Deadly! At the beginning, I only wanted to take a few lessons to get more comfortable with dancing at parties and in clubs, but Melissa has been able to transmit her passion for dancing and I now find myself with a new hobby! I really look forward to every class I take.

- Eva is a great dance student, she works hard each week, practises in between lessons, and takes on corrections very well. She accepts every challenge, and has progressed massively in her pick up and execution of movements/choreographyMelissa's response :
Deadly! I am very happy with Melissa as my 1-on-1 tutor. She's very passionate about dancing and teaching dance movements. She would go an extra mile just so I could learn my fav choreograph that's out of her style! She always creates a vibe and environment you need in order to learn dancing in the best way possible. My dance lessons with her were never dull. Apart from being talented at a young age, she's full of experience and will push you to your limits. I'm glad she's my tutor. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Melissa is a fantastic dance teacher. And a lovely person to go with it. Melissa choreographed and taught 14 over 40s for a surprise flash mob for a wedding. Over our weekly practices Melissa turned us from the a version of the muppets into a tight flash mob of street dancers. The we’d g party were blown away by our dance skills.
Melissa choreographed and taught me and my wife’s first dance for our wedding. Honestly, look no further. Melissa created the perfect dance for us and she made the lesson comfortable and fun. My wife was apprehensive about doing a first dance to begin with but we both ended up having the best time and it was one of our favourite parts of our wedding. We both have two left feet but somehow Melissa made it work and adapted to the style that we wanted. 100% recommend. Thank you Melissa!
Punctual, efficient, attentive and motivating
Melissa has been teaching our 7 year old daughter to dance, mainly online but in person too for nearly two years now.
Our little girl has gone from no rhythm to rhythm! Melissa is teaching her routines to increase her repertoire of dance steps and then goes through them and sharpens up those steps!
Melissa is an excellent dancer, she is also very knowledgeable and is: patient, communicates great with children and encourages our daughter to continue learning new techniques yet still always gives my daughter the time to listen to her ideas too. My little girl loves working with Melissa!
I would highly recommend Melissa as a Dance teacher for any age!Melissa came to teach our daughter dance and we all looked forward to her visits. She’s creative, warm and fun. She’s also respectful, reliable and responsive. She managed to bring out a freedom in our daughter and instil confidence in her. I highly recommend Melissa. Enjoy!
Melissa was thoughtful and kind in her teaching. She made me feel comfortable and I enjoyed our sessions a lot
I cannot thank Melissa enough for the incredible support and guidance she provided my son during his successful auditions for Sylvia Young Theatre School. From the very first lesson, her passion for dance and enthusiasm was evident.
Melissa not only helped my son set up his routine from but also gave him the confidence to perform at his best. He felt fully prepared for his audition and walked in with a sense of confidence and excitement. If you are looking for a dance teacher who is not only talented but also deeply invested in her students’ success, I wholeheartedly recommend Melissa!Melissa was great - great energy, positive vibe, always reliable, tailors the class to your individual needs, and patient with beginners. I recommend!
Melissa has been such a wonderful dance teacher for my daughter and her friends! She has incredible knowledge of a huge range of dance styles and is able to explain so patiently and so clearly. The girls LOVE their classes and have progressed massively under her teaching.
Melissa is a very warm hearted, genuine and high spirited individual. She knows how to bring the most out of each of her students by encouraging them to work at the their own pace, whilst also motivating them to work outside of their own comfort zone. She is able to suit all styles and arrange you lesson to the style and method that each of her students prefer. I would definitely recommend her as a teacher, she puts a lot of effect into making sure her students understand and are moving at a pace that suits them. Whether you are a child or adult students, Melissa is the teacher for you. She will make you come out of the lesson not only happy but fulfilled with what you have learnt in each of your lessons!!
Melissa has been providing a range of dance lessons for our residents for months now. The classes are very professional and all our residents are loving them. Melissa is an amazing instructor, and really patient, and thorough with the class - a great teacher. Would highly recommend individual and group classes.
Melissa has tutored my extremely shy daughter who loves dance but is held back by her lack of confidence, for about 7 months.
Melissa has shown patience and understanding and has been able to further develop my daughters skills, as well as start to build her confidence.
Melissa is a great teacher and has been able to adapt her teachings to cater for the needs of the individual.
Melissa has taught my daughter many new skills and enabled her better enjoy her passion for dance.
Melissa has proven to be hardworking, professional, and caring and always kept me up to date on my daughters progression.
We hope to continue to have lessons with Melissa for the long term due to having had such a great experience so far.
Melissa is a great teacher. She really beeaks down all the movements and has really sought to understand what I wanted to get out of my lessons and what my goals are. I am constantly impressed by her knowledge and skill.
Melissa helpt us to prepare for our modern wedding dance. She adapted the choreography for us and coached us all the way.
Melissa is a great and very knowledgeable coach and high energy. We had a lot of fun preparing the dance. Highly recommended!Not only is Melissa an incredible dancer but also a great teacher, the combination of which is rather hard to come across.
I’ve been greatly enjoying my lessons with her mostly for her expertise, individual approach and general enthusiasm and passion towards both dance and music.I had my first trial lesson with Melissa and she is amazing at what she does. She made me feel comfortable , safe and she really patient . Overall she is a best teacher I’ve had so far and will be coming back for weekly sessions.
Melissa is very versatile she does all styles of dance. She does it all !! & she super sweet x
Highly recommend herMelissa is a lovely dance teacher and inspiration. She makes sure that everyone’s questions are answered, goes through routines at a comfortable pace, by breaking down steps and is extremely encouraging. This allowed many people to discover their own creative style as dancers as they were in a comfortable environment to develop confidence in order to improve. The most inspiring part about Melissa as a tutor is her passion and drive in dance, and helping people to fall in love with dance the same way she has.
Because she is kind hearted and very generous, whenever I've been stuck on a dance move she takes the time to go through it properly so I understand whay to do, she hasn't got one bad bone in her body she's a breath of fresh air to be around with
Melissa is all rounded dancer whose passion and love for sharing with others creates such a beautiful energy. She is great teacher who has years of knowledge and experience. She is fun full of energy and such an inspiring, positive and uplifting person. Melissa classes will take you through a fun upbeat warm up with fitness, stretch and conditioning, led by hip hop/street dance/contemporary infused choreography to a selected song within her huge range of music selection, and sometimes she plays with dance/movement creative exercises to get our creative juices flowing.
