Melissa Briggs' Dance Journey

Melissa Briggs became a serious ballet dancer at age 8, knowing without a doubt that's what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. From New York to Rhode Island to Massachusetts to Florida and then back to New York and then finally in California, her parents always made sure there was a good ballet studio so she could get the training she needs to do the thing she was called to do. And it worked! Melissa is now a professional ballet dancer with The Realm Company as well as a movement therapist. She loves what she does, but sometimes it's hard to juggle all her dance classes, rehearsals and performances with her clients and all the hours she needs to build for therapy. She's doing it though! And still (usually) finds time to take a rest on Sunday—sleeping in, making matcha, taking long walks, and watching movies. :) Learn more about Melissa's dance journey and dance dreams on this week's episode.
