Melissa Celi 

​

Melissa’s dance journey began at the age of 18 with hip hop. After three years of training, her growing passion for movement led her to explore Argentine tango, which she studied for four years. During this time, she joined the Curita Sheffield performance team, performing at a variety of events across Sheffield.

 

As her artistic curiosity expanded, Melissa developed a strong interest in salsa and bachata. She has since trained with a wide range of artists, both through dance congresses and regular group and one-to-one classes.

 

Her dedication and love for dance led her to join Sabroso Dance Company (Leeds), where she continues to train and perform. Melissa regularly performs with the Sabroso team at dance congresses and events across the UK.
