Welcome
Hello and welcome to The Studio Tynemouth!
I'm Melissa, a professional dancer, choreographer and movement specialist of more than twenty years, with qualifications spanning all forms of fitness and dance, including advanced yoga, Pilates, Progressing Ballet, Tango with Pole and nutrition, to name a few. I'm a foodie mum of two, passionate about dance, coastal life, travel and the kind of positive mindset that comes from spending time in the fresh air, in cultivating good personal habits, friendships and body image through long-term wellbeing, strength and confidence. It's my mission to empower women and help them to find a balance between work and home, building resilience to deal with the pressures that life can bring. Drawing upon my years of experience and personal connections with strong women of all ages, I've created a varied schedule of classes with something for everyone, no matter your age, body type or level of expertise. So, if you want to build strength and confidence, get in touch, because I'd love to help!
Our Classes
We offer a range of classes, so there's sure to be something for everyone! (And, if there isn't, why not try a private 1-1 session with Melissa so she can choreograph a class just for you?)
Barre
A full-body workout tailored to the individual, combining ballet movements with Pilates, yoga and strength training. Let Melissa teach you to perfect your form with a series of small movements to tone muscle, improve posture and enhance flexibility. This class is suitable for all fitness levels.
Resistance Barre
Resistance Barre is all about turning up the pressure on those muscles to achieve maximum results, working with your body and its individual needs within the framework of ballet and Pilates techniques, using small, controlled movements to improve posture and tone. The class is suitable for everyone, but prepare to feel the burn!
Adult Ballet
(Incorporating Centre Barre)
Adult Ballet & Centre Barre is a class designed for the lovers of ballet who want to incorporate classical techniques into their fitness and feel beautiful while they tone and grow stronger. The class can be adapted to individual fitness levels, so come along and have a go!
Tango with Pole
This class is a beautiful expression of feminism at its finest; rather than needing a partner, dancers learn to tango while using a fixed pole as their partner for structural support. Grow in confidence, strength and grace while expressing one of the most beautiful forms of Latin dance.
Seasonal Classes
Here at The Studio Tynemouth, we're so lucky to be based less than a five-minute walk from the beach. To make the most of this, seasonal classes are run beside the water or on the sand at King Edward's Bay, or at the Bandstand in Northumberland Park. Look out for these classes during the Spring and Summer, signposted on our schedule.
