Melissa Lopez strives to inspire each person she comes in contact with to remember our interconnectedness with all living things on this planet. Whether in an intimate workshop setting or an arena of ten thousand, she weaves her skills as a dancer, performance artist, yogini and human be-ing to create an experience which will stir you up and kindle a desire to be in motion, integrating heart and mind.

Melissa believes the synchronization of the body with the Universe
through dance is a sacred act.
No matter the location...be it the dance floor, stage, classroom,
around a fire, or on a chancel.

She has been dancing since 2001, teaching and performing both publicly and for private events since 2004. While her style of dance is strongly rooted in traditional teachings, she embraces movement from many other cultures
living a style of dance all her own.

Whether teaching or performing, she has a natural ability to relate to others, drawing them in and creating an environment of sharing and fun.
