ABOUT ME
Eddie Melendez
​
I am an American dancer/musician of Puerto Rican descent. My professional career began in 1988 at the age of 12, when I began touring as a musician, traveling all over the United States and South and Central America. At the age of 21 I was signed by the New York record label, MP, to sing with the salsa band, Face 2 Face. I wrote, sang, danced and recorded with the group, releasing 2 albums while continuing to tour.
When I wasn’t touring I began my training as a professional dancer and instructor. I completed my professional certification in 2000. Making the switch from full time musician to dancer, I competed professionally to advance my teaching abilities. In this venture I became a World Mambo finalist, American rhythm finalist, and Puerto Rican Salsa champion. Since then, I have trained and managed Independent, Fred Astaire, and Arthur Murray franchise dance studios. Pre-Pandemic I owned The Greenwich Ballroom dance studio for nine years until the shut down caused me to close the doors.
I use all my experience as a musician and dancer, to rhythmically teach and advance each individual dancer in Smooth, Latin, and American Rhythm styles. Whether you’re a social, or competitive dancer, I am ready to take you to the next level.
Currently I Emcee, teach ballroom dance, deejay, play live music, and compete Pro-Am at professional dance competitions.
