BIO
Melissa Mangold has been in Nashville for two years following a move from New York City. Ms. Mangold has taught across SNB's Children's Division through Academy Levels 1 and 2. Nashville Ballet has truly made her feel at home!  After many years of dancing competitively in her home state of New Jersey, Melissa earned her BFA in Commercial Dance from Pace University in New York City. After graduation, when she wasn’t auditioning, she was teaching children of all ages dance, theatre, and movement. She has toured the country as Oscar the Grouch in Sesame Street Live Lets Party, and has performed in numerous musicals in California, New York and New Jersey. Sharing the magic of dance and art with children is Melissa’s greatest passion, and she feels incredibly lucky to be doing that here in Nashville.
