Description: If you know about SHiNE Dance Fitness, you know about our Mel. The impact she had on SHiNE Nation, and continues to have through her choreography and many recorded classes, is undeniable. Dance was Mel’s therapy, her heartbeat. We wanted to be sure to honor her by making sure others could feel the magic of dance just like she did. So, inspired by her passion for dance, we’re starting Mel’s Scholarship Fund. Our vibrant SHiNE Nation can ensure the success of this program by contributing through heartfelt purchases like this limited edition tank or tee-shirt. Scholarships will be put toward a number of different programs offered by SHiNE, including instructor trainings, online memberships, event registration fees. Being awarded a scholarship from Mel’s Scholarship Fund means joining in on Mel’s dance legacy. It’s like catching a piece of Mel’s spirit and letting her passion move through you. And while donations aren’t tax-deductible, the feeling of helping someone dance like Mel? Absolutely unbeatable.

The phrase “Keep On” is inspired by the title of a song choreographed by Mel right after she was diagnosed with breast cancer for the 2nd time. Her strength and determination to “Keep On” even when it was hard was an inspiration to us all. Kendall now has these two words tattooed on her wrist as a reminder to push forward even on the hard days, just as Mel would do.
The angel wing is inspired by one of Mel’s favorite bracelets she wore. She bought it before she was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer and lost it at one of our retreats in McCall, Idaho. A couple of years later, I was able to find the source for the bracelet and got Amy, Jamie, myself, and Mel (aka “The Clutch”) matching bracelets for Christmas. I wear the bracelet when I need extra strength, and I think of her.
