In the studio

Melissa Milano is a dancer, professional photographer, and entrepreneur. After dancing in a company program in her youth and training with professionals such as Dan Karaty, Lisa Danais, Mia Michaels, Doug Caldwell, and Wade Robson, she went on to dance professionally at Walt Disney World and joined the Actors' Equity Association.

Once her contract was fulfilled, Melissa returned home to audition and train in New York City, working as a dancer for choreographer and Steps on Broadway owner Joe Lanteri in multiple industrials, while beginning her career as a teacher.

After teaching dance locally for over 20 years, she joined the King Centre teaching staff in September 2022, showcasing her dance and choreography acumen in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, jazz heels, musical theater, and hip hop. With over 25 years of teaching experience, she truly loves sharing the gift of dance with her students.
