Bronx born and Brooklyn raised, Melany Anne Centeno first became interested in dance while attending Stony Brook University. Upon graduation Melany pursued training in NY Style Salsa on 2 at a top Salsa school in NYC: Santo Rico Dance School Inc. She later joined and was given the opportunity to travel and perform with Baila Society's Repertory company throughout Europe and the states. In 2010 Melany was accepted to Broadway Dance Center's Professional Semester. Here she continued to hone her skills and broaden her dance versatility. In January 2012 she auditioned for and was accepted into Rhapsody James' Motivating Excellence Dance Training program. She trained in all styles of commercial dance as well as acting and martial arts and truly found a sense of self through the training with Miss James. Melany's goal in dance is simple; to do what she loves, be great at it, do it with passion and still inspire and teach others as she has been inspired.
