Coach Lara joined DANCE PRESCRIPTION in 2018 as a team member and became a touring Lab Assistant by 2019. In this role, she traveled all across Australia before performing internationally in countries such as England, Scotland, Wales, Norway and Gibraltar, where she assisted Dr Lisa in her Just What The Doctor Ordered jazz technique workshops.
Her experience as part of the DANCE PRESCRIPTION program for 5 years has meant Coach Lara knows the specific DANCE PRESCRIPTION jazz technique content, drills and ethos like the back of her hand. Lara Mellon is an ambitious, dedicated, and passionate coach who absolutely loves passing on her knowledge. She is currently teaching at a number of local studios but she finds time to lead weekly online private consultations for dancers, travel around Queensland to teach DANCE PRESCRIPTION Jazz Technique workshops, and coaching her own Gold Coast DANCE PRESCRIPTION Team!
This year Lara Mellon is completing her Certificate IV in dance while training full time at the world renown Dance Force. Rehearsals are underway to prepare for her upcoming performances in the Dance Force Grad Tour, which will be touring Australia in October and November 2024.
Coach Lara is passionate about creating a fun and inspiring environment for dancers to work hard, improve their technique and create healthy habits. Lara ultimately aims to teach her students the fundamental qualities needed to become well-rounded individuals.
