Melissa Whitearican Clarady

Melissa has had a passion for dance since high school, and she realized that she could express the music that sounded her life. She participated in Colorguard and took classes at Florida School of the Arts. She went on to UCF to get her degree, and found dance again in 2009. She began with Salsa and Bachata, and has since dabbled in Cha-Cha, Hip-Hop, House, Zouk, Argentine Tango and Kizomba.

She helped found Latin Intensity in 2010 and has lead two successful teams to various dance festivals across the country. She currently teaches and resides in Orlando, FL.
