MELODY DANCEFIT

Forget The Grind, Let’s Groove

MY WHY

SHAKE THAT ASS:

IT’S SCIENCE BACKED

Melody DanceFit isn’t your ordinary class. MDF has pioneered a new experience that transcends traditional fitness and dance classes. The main focus is on the somatic release that comes when you set an intention to let it go and get into a flow. It is designed to take the intimidation out of dance, so you can focus on being present, playful, and release something beyond the physical. When you get out of your mind and into your body, movement allows you to:

Awaken a Connection in your Body
Activate your Nervous System
Process & Release Emotions
Experience Joyful Movement

What Our Community Is Saying

Kacie B.

“Melody doesn’t sell exercise, she sells a state of mind—a way of life—and it’s addicting. I left her class feeling completely transformed and inspired. She shows you how to let go of needing control and to truly be present in the moment. She is tailor-made for what she does and just by allowing people to experience her energy and love for life, she inspires them to find their own stage, whatever that looks like, and let loose. This class is a game changer!!”

Sireesha C.

“I can’t recommend Melody and her brand enough. I am forever grateful to Melody for helping me find a physical strength I didn’t know I had, for showing me how to be comfortable in my own skin, and for giving me the gift of dance.”

Jenny V.

“I struggle a lot with anxiety and depression and along with that comes the lack of motivation to do quite anything, let alone work out! I found myself watching Melody’s videos on YouTube just to cheer myself up because just WATCHING them puts a smile on my face. Melody has an amazing gift. I am almost in tears just writing this. She is real, she is authentic, she is vulnerable, she is encouraging, she is no bullshit, and she is hysterical.”

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Passionate about sharing the life-changing power of dance–– CEO and founder of Melody DanceFit, Melody Afkami pioneered a new class experience that transcends traditional fitness and dance. Notorious for her humorous and inspirational message to let go of what you look like and focus on the mental release of dance, Melody’s online community has now reached millions. Melody DanceFit was the first dance fitness brand in Austin to rent out local concert venues and bars in lieu of the traditional studio. What started out as a small ten person class quickly grew into events of a hundred plus people–– selling out venues all over town. From her disco-lit classes to her online Dance To Heal program, Melody has cultivated a following that is hooked on her message of self-acceptance, embracing duality, and allowing dance to immediately draw you into the present moment. With an emphasis on empowerment and mental health, her company is dedicated to helping people feel less alone in their struggles. Since its founding, MDF donates to the international nonprofit Dress For Success. Afkami is also a keynote speaker and has been featured on CBS News, Texas Monthly Magazine, and Huffington Post. She has taught for international conferences and festivals, including SXSW and Austin City Limits Music Festival. She’s been hired by companies such as Lululemon, Facebook, Bumble, and Google and has recently presented on TEDx stage. Melody’s life mission is to take the intimidation out of dance to help people access it as a transformative tool in their lives, and her viral YouTube video ‘Havana‘ boasting over 40 million views certainly proves that.
