Melanie Ryder started dancing at the age of 3 and hasn't stopped since. She was a student at Step Ahead School of Dance (EDI Previous name) for 15 years. Melanie then went on to Springfield College where she received a B.A. in Dance and a B.S. in Business Management. During her time at Springfield, Melanie was a member of the Springfield College Pride Dance Team, which competed in hip hop and jazz at the regional level in addition to performing at football and basketball games. Melanie was also a member of the Springfield College Dancer's which was a club that performed on campus, in the community and attended a regional dance conference annually. Following her time at Springfield, Melanie continued her education at Lesley University where she received her Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Dance/ Movement Therapy. Throughout her education Melanie taught at Step Ahead and applied her knowledge of dance to her teaching style, allowing her students to develop a stronger understanding of their technique and body awareness.
