Renaissance woman: second-generation belly dance artist, performer,
choreographer, teacher, writer, circus producer & aerialist with a PhD in
medieval French Literature. Born to a folk-musician father and a hippie-artist
belly dance mother during the late 60s Berkeley, California cultural
revolution, Melina exited Rhea's shimmying womb into a vibrant life of dance
and circus arts. Boston-based Melina has toured with the Flying Wallendas and
performs on the earth & aerially at venues worldwide. Melina is co-founder
of Daughters of Rhea, Cirque Passion and the ALS Therapy Development Institute.
