Melissa Mena, originally from Prescott, Arizona, has a passion for American Tribal Belly Dance. With over 16 years of dance experience, Melissa has dedicated the past 8 years to teaching and sharing the art of belly dance with others. Her dance journey has included performing with two semi-professional troupes and exploring the world of fire dancing, integrating this dynamic element with belly dance into performance pieces. In 2022 after spending five years in the Pacific Northwest, Melissa and her husband felt the pull to return to their Arizona roots and decided to make Tucson their home. Outside the studio, Melissa loves to unwind with a good book, enjoys Pilates, and cherishes time with family and friends.
