Melanie is the owner of Metamorphosis Dance
Academy and co-founder of Austin Metamorphosis
Dance Ensemble. Melanie began her training in
Victoria, Texas with Debbe Busby and continued there
as a member of Victoria Ballet Theatre from 1984 to
1993. She has done summer study at the Boston Ballet
and The Joffrey Workshop TX. She holds a B.A. in Dance
Pedagogy from Butler University. Her career continued
following graduation with the Alabama Ballet. Her
career highlights include roles in The Nutcracker, Les
Sylphides, Petrouchka, La Viviandiere, Swan Lake,
Coppelia, La Bayadere, Dracula, Serenade, Giselle,
and Johan Renvall’s Between the Lines. She also
appeared as a guest with the Indianapolis Opera in Die
Fledermaus and on an international tour to Taipei City,
Taiwan with the Butler Ballet. She has taught for The
Jordan Academy at Butler University and for Exclusively
Ballet in Birmingham before returning to Texas where she
taught for Tapestry and Ballet Austin. She still performs
occasionally, but her favorite roles right now are being
a mom to 3 beautiful children and wife to an amazing
husband.
"I believe in providing the best possible foundation of
technique for successful careers in many forms of
dance. I do not just teach steps, but the process
necessary to make each movement brilliant. I achieve
this through well-planned classes, detailed explanations
of corrections, challenging each student individually,
and connecting them to the history of dance. Above
all, I'm passionate about dance and wish to impart that
to my students."
