Melissa Lineburg

Performing Art – Washington, D.C.

Melissa Lineburg, a professional ballet dancer in Washington, DC, is a Master’s of Science: Nutrition student at the University of Bridgeport. She earned her BFA in Dance Performance: Ballet Technique and a Business Administration minor from Radford University in 2011 and, ever since, is dedicated to supporting the arts, specifically dance and its artists, through her work both on- and off-stage. Melissa currently works and performs with Misako Ballet Company, Agora Dance, Metropolitan Ballet Ensemble, and Connect the Dots Dance Company. Off stage, she is the Database Manager at Dance/USA. Upon obtaining her 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher Certification in 2016, Melissa’s interest in a dancer’s physical and nutritional well-being sky-rocketed and she returned to school at the University of the District of Columbia with a focus in nutrition before deciding that graduate school was her next step.
