MELODY DAVIS

Melody's love for dance started at Footlites Dance Studio in Selah, WA at the age of 3. She continued to study Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Lyrical, Contemporary, Hip Hop, and Pom until she graduated high school.  During high school she taught all styles to students ranging from 3 to 18 years old on top of being a part of the Selah High School Dance Team.  While there, she was named Captain and won the WIAA State Pom Championship.  

 

After high school, Melody attended Washington State University and was recruited to the Crimson Girls Dance Team and became Captain her junior year.  The Crimson Girl Dance Team competed in Jazz and Game Day routines at the UDA College Nationals in Orlando, FL consistently finishing in the top 10 for DIA universities.  

 

Melody then moved to Colorado and became an NBA Denver Nuggets Dancer where she was awarded "Rookie of the Year". She performed during games, taught Nuggets Kids Camp and participated in community events.  Melody has choreographed at high school and university levels, taught for NBA tryouts, and has attended Pro Action Dance several times.

HARLEY BURCK

Harley was a competitive dancer at Dance Creations located in Wenatchee, WA for many years. She was taught by some of the best choreographers throughout her time there.  Her studio dance team won multiple regional and national titles and Harley won multiple awards as a solo dancer.  When Harley got to the age of not being able to compete, she decided to teach various styles and ages. The passion that she has for dance only grew stronger when becoming a teacher.  Harley is excited to bring this opportunity to the greater Ephrata area and show others how to learn to love the sport of dance.  She cannot wait to meet you all!
