Therese’s passion for dance started at the age of 6, with tap and classical ballet training that continued throughout her teen years and culminated in a number of performances in youth productions staged by CAPAB (now the Cape Town City Ballet).
As an adult Therese shifted her focus to salsa, which ignited a new love for Latin dancing. This passion progressed toward ballroom and even still today, Therese can’t help but light up the dance floor when that music starts!
Therese brings patience and experience to many Dance Romance clients.
Melissa started dancing at the age of 5, taking on ballet, tap and jazz with the Beverley Parker Academy of Dance.
Since then, Melissa also discovered a passion for Latin dancing, with experience in Zouk lambada.
Broadening her experience further, Melissa trained in Wu Tao, a dance based therapy that balances the body, mind and spirit, based on oriental medicine.
Melissa brings her vast experience and relaxed nature to many of our clients, particularly our beginners who appreciate her endless patience and warmth.
