It is with pride as we move forward and add to our memories and those of so many families enrolled at SSGA. It is a long and growing history built on Melanie’s years of dance education. Her pedigree and knowledge of dance is rare and has been earned over many years. She has been trained by some of the most highly regarded dance teachers, gymnastics instructors, pom and cheer coaches in the area. Her education began as she took her first steps in life. Melanie was fortunate to be raised by her mother, Gail McKeon Kivett. She gave Melanie the gift of knowledge and experience. They have a special bond that has grown over the years based on mutual respect, love and admiration. Gail taught Melanie by example in dance and life as well. Melanie has embraced her mother’s values and methods of teaching as she uses them daily. She knows very well these are the irreplaceable tools she utilizes to inspire and teach her students. At the very inception of SSGA we knew the core of our program would be as genuine and clear as Melanie’s passion for the performing arts. Many of our SSGA families have recognized what Melanie has to offer and their loyalty is proof. At SSGA our goal is to offer top quality education and lead by example.
