More About

"Move With Mel C"

Mel C's Philosophy is “everyone can dance”.

Learning Choreographies is fun; I however believe with the essential knowledge of dance techniques will enable a person to move more effortlessly.

Isolation – Provides body awareness. Understanding which muscles stretch, contract, and rotate to foam movements. Practicing these skills will also build muscle memory for a person to move effortlessly.

Foot Placement – Understanding when to be on the ball of the feet and when to be on the heels. When crossing to the front and back is essential to prevent injuries. Sometimes people wonder why they can’t keep up with choreography and always seem to be missing a beat. This doesn’t necessarily mean a person is off tempo, it can be as simple as not knowing how to place their foot correctly in their movements.

Posture – Knowing which posture to keep in a certain dance style will certainly help a person look so much better. Not all dance style and genre requires a straight back, shoulders up, chest forward posture. Understanding which posture to keep in different styles and genres will help a person to not only keep their balance, the outcome of the movements wouldn’t feel nor look so awkward.

I believe good techniques will ensure a dancer’s longevity, prevent injuries, build strength and flexibility, and refine movement quality. All of these provide technically skilled dancers with the ability to dance using correct body placement and alignment and beautiful lines.

I love providing my life knowledge of over 25 years of dance experience to all the participants of any of my classes.

Benefits of Dancing

Studies shows that moving to the music can make you happier, reduce stress, help you lose weight, stay flexible, boost your brainpower, improve your outlook, grow your social circle and protect your most important organs.

A study in Circulation: Heart Failure found that people with cardiac conditions who danced for just 20 minutes three times a week saw their heart health improve significantly more than those who stuck to traditional cardio workouts. Dancing also help make your skeleton strong, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation. When researchers compared dancers with non-dancers, they found evidence that dancing may preserve both motor skills and perceptual abilities. A New England Journal of Medicine study of 11 physical activities found that dancing was the only one that lowered dementia risk by a whopping 76 percent.

The psychological benefits are also impressive. Research dating back to the 1980's supports the idea that dancing can curb anxiety. For decades, some therapists have prescribed dancing as an effective therapy for those who suffer from social anxiety and fear of public speaking. The idea is, if you can loosen up enough to boogie in front of strangers, you’re a lot less likely to feel self-conscious when hanging out or speaking in front of an audience.
