Melissa Melhorn Desrosiers

Aerial Dance Coach

Modern Dance Instructor

Melissa’s passion is modern dance. (Modern dance uses the entire body in movements expressive of abstract ideas not bound by the classical rules of ballet; meaning you may see contractions, curves, rolling and sometimes acrobatic movement).

After many years of teaching and choreographing in traditional dance studios, such as Southern New Hampshire Dance Theatre and Dimensions in Dance, Melissa is fulfilling her goal of teaching modern in an athletic environment.

Her role at Go Ninja is to help aerial circus athletes transfer movement from Modern Dance up onto the apparatus. Melissa has a bachelor of arts in modern dance from Butler University.

Kile's kind an postive personality is inspirational! She’ll guid you through her classes with attention to safety, body mechanics and your intentions. She holds a bachelors degree in exercise science and she started her circus training in Germany.
Linda Park Murphy

Linda's vision of art is like no other. She has been striving for cirque du soiled before it was even a thing. Being from Northern Maine she wasn't exposed to the European Style Artistic Circus Arts so she created her own brand of funky athletic movement. She sought out experts in a wide range of movement fields and brought them to teach her and her daughters at her Martial Art's Studio. Her dreams of applying her dance, gymnastics and martial arts training to a vertical apparatus have been realized with the Go Ninja program.
