Miss Melodee

2010 LA Music Awards "Best New Artist" Nominee; Melodee Holsinger Bridges (AKA: Miss Melodee) was born in Pittsburgh, PA. Upon the release of her first Album "Nothing but Change", Melodee was selected as a finalist on David Foster and NBC's "Star Tomorrow". She has been performing professionally for over 15 years, but it is Melodee's gift of teaching that she is most proud of. Her youthful spirit provides a magical connection to her students and the fact that she exudes a "Princess" like kindness is both engaging and inspiring to her young dancers.

Nominated by the 2012 Independent Music Awards for best children’s album, Miss Melodee has been teaching children from 18 months to 10 years of age for over a decade. She has also starred in and directed many children’s' productions in Los Angeles with The Advent Theater and Little Red Caboose. Her adaptations and workshops of children’s musicals are huge hits with adults and kids alike. She currently offers classes throughout the Los Angeles Area and at her own studio in Tarzana, Miss Melodee Studios.

Miss Melodee's classes have become destination locations at studios like Put Art In Your Heart and Twinkle Toes, as well as various Los Angeles private schools (The Country School, The Buckley School, CNS and The Westside JCC to name a few).

Melodee has a BFA in Musical Theater from Point Park College. Believing in further education, she returned to school in 2010 attending UCLA. There she worked with acclaimed lyricist Marty Panzer and won the Hal Gaba scholarship for excellence. Combining her skills as a teacher and her talent for singing, dancing and composing music, Melodee created the "Dancing with Miss Melodee" CD in early 2011. The successful debut of her "Dancing with Miss Melodee" CD has become the backbone of her teaching and an addictive "must have" for all her students. She's thrilled that the music she created inspires her young dancers to become anything they dream of.
