Who’s Coach Mel?

Dance Coach Melanie Webster has been instructing dance since she was 16 years old when she started her first program: Preparation for Dance Team at her hometown dance studio in Rosemount, MN. Along with assisting her teachers and choreographing dances, she was sought after for her talent in creating routines for competitions, recitals and pageants. She has a background in tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop, kick, production (Broadway/Character), modern and ballet dance styles. She went on to Head Instruct for Just For Kix in Farmington for 4 years, winning lots of awards at competitions and with the JFK program. After moving to North Carolina with her husband who was in the military, she was a Lead Dance Teacher at a dance studio in Hampstead, NC for 2 years then moved back to Minnesota after her husband finished his Active Duty service. She has also Head Coached Randolph and Irondale High School dance teams, continued to choreograph and assist creatively with former employers and dancers, and been asked to start multiple dance programs around the state. After moving to Waverly in 2019, she decided to begin a dance program locally and the HLWW Dance program was born! She hopes to continue it’s growth, allowing all dancers to learn, grow and believe in themselves as they take part in the program and plans to expand to working with the district to develop a High School Dance Team at HLWW for competition as a Varsity Sport.
