Melvin Shieh

Melvin hails from Queens, NY and has been a student of hip hop since discovering it in adolescence. His journey in dance has been an introspective quest for spiritual freedom. As a practitioner of zazen meditation, Melvin sees dance as a vehicle for growth and understanding; a meditation in motion. His movement practices include breaking, house, yoga, tai chi and wing tsun.
Melvin is also a writer and a trader, a student of the written word and the financial markets.
