PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

Melanie is available to work privately with dance professionals and students doing something she calls, "performance analysis," as well as energetic realignment and energy healing and balancing.

ABOUT MELANIE:
-Highly trained observer
-Former dance teacher
-Intuitive skills of a massage and vibrational energy practitioner
Melanie sees where an injury is waiting to happen and can help prevent it.

Melanie sees where emotion or congested energy is holding a student back from joyful and expressive performance.

She acts as a guide for those performers and students who feel their dancing is not at the level they wish, or who have problems with self-esteem, self-confidence, recovery from injury, and/ or performance anxiety.

"When you work with Melanie, you feel better about yourself. I learned I was holding my breath and that caused me to run out of energy. Just that one thing changed the way I perform."
--PB, principal dancer, New York.

Dancers, performers, teachers, for more information, or to set up an in-class, private or group session, please use the form on the home page.

"Stretching, moving the limbs and body during a session, and paying attention to flow and expressiveness are particular signatures of my current practice influenced by my early massage, dance, shiatsu and Rosen training."
--Melanie

ROSEN METHOD BODYWORK and MOVEMENT

"The basic tenets are touching with a soft hand, allowing the breath, going deep, keeping in mind the power of simplicity, and having ongoing sessions. But the most important of these is the quality of the touch.

"Physical Therapist Marion Rosen's approach suggests ways of meditation-in-relationship using skillful touch. It is clearly related to earlier approaches to emotional healing--notably Reichian work--that allow the person's deeper self to emerge by assisting in the dissolution of "character armor."

--From the book: Rosen Method Bodywork, Accessing the Unconscious Through Touch by Marion Rosen (with psychotherapist Susan Brenner)

"I am not a Rosen Method Practitioner and do not offer this type of "pure" session by itself. However, Rosen cannot help but influence my work in the consideration it affords the individual and the power it places in the hands of those receiving the work."--Melanie

Melanie danced from an early age, first with her mother, Nilda Stinson, a movement and creative arts pioneer in the Bowling Green, Ohio area.

Melanie studied with Cassandra Macino, Dina Kushnir, Gabriela Taub-Darvash, Igal Perry, Robert Chiarelli, Gail Grant, Cynthia Stone-Arenillas, Doris Rudko, Jane Russell, Melissa Hayden, Joyce Boorman, Phyllis Lamhut and others.

Melanie took classes at New York City's Authentic Movement Studio, and pursued ballet, ballet pedagogy, modern dance in various forms, dance criticism, movement meditation, jazz, Laban Effort-Shape, creative movement, and craft of choreography. She performed for a short while with the Nutmeg Ballet Company in Connecticut, and with college performance groups and her own small group in Ohio and New York.

At New York's Omega Institute of Holistic Studies, Melanie met and connected with Koji Yamamoto, who taught her Katsugen. He called it a meditation movement form especially "beneficial for ballet dancers."
