In honor of completing my second @ishitamili workshop yesterday, here’s last workshop’s combo. 🖤

The concept of this piece was a fallen angel. I interpreted it as a fallen angel breaking free from perfection, which I connected to my dance journey—letting go of self-judgment and just enjoying what I love most!!

I could go on forever about how amazing Ishita’s workshops are. Beyond foundational techniques, she’s helped me sm with storytelling and getting out of my own head. Thank you for everything, xoxo! by @melanieconlonn

Over the past year, teachers and students alike dealt with the difficult transition out of the classroom and into little zoom squares. This piece is about coming back into the studio after a year and a half of virtual learning.
.

This was the perfect piece to start the year off and show how grateful we are for the ability to dance with each other in-person again. Looking forward to an exciting year with @nrityacreations 💕

This choreography served as a tool for my students to access their emotions through dance. I wanted to provide each of them with an outlet to express themselves when words just don't suffice.
.
.
My goal with this piece was to have my students deeply connect to the music. I wasn't looking for perfection or cleanliness. I was looking to see the genuine emotions of my students when relating to the singer's words. I encouraged each of my dancers to not worry about how they looked but to generate their movement from the heart.
.
.
The lyrics of the song explain the emotional pain the artist went through when dealing with depression and anxiety. With the current state of the world and isolation from friends/family, I felt we all needed this emotional release.
.
.
I am so proud of every single one of them. They put their heart and soul into this piece. Even though I was only able to watch them perform virtually on Zoom, seeing them connect the music to emotion was such a rewarding experience. I hope you enjoy watching them as much as I do. #prouddanceteacher by @melanieconlonn

Short clip of Nritya Creations Company dancers staying active and challenging themselves with a different style of dance each week! This weeks style is Hip-Hop.

Very blessed to be apart of @nrityacreations interactive online classes. During a time of isolation it’s so important that we still keep up with our hobbies and passions. Staying active boosts your energy, improves your mood, and promotes better sleep. (Which we all can use right now) I am very proud of my students for adjusting to virtual learning and look forward to sharing our progress!😊 #nrityacreations #keepdancingchallenge #stayhealthymyfriends

My therapy

I finally found a space in my tiny apartment to dance💃🏻 Turning on the music and just letting movement pour out is one of my favorite stress relievers. Sharing a couple clips from this forgotten improv session a couple weeks ago. 💕
