One of the fiercest Broadway dancers that has landed on Broadway, Melanie Moore, is celebrating a birthday on this September 17th!
Melanie made a fabulous name for herself on Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance" as the Season 8 winner.
On top of all of her accomplishments in the dance community, Melanie made her Broadway debut as the high flying Peter Pan in 2015's Finding Neverland dancing "So You Think You Can Dance" frequent collaborator Mia Michaels' innovative choreography. Broadway roles as Chava in Fiddler on the Roof, Ermengarde in Hello, Dolly! and Judy Turner in the acclaimed New York City Center 2018 revival soon followed.
Melanie's dancing is absolutely magnetic and seemingly effortless - she has such a gift. We can't wait to see when she dances onto Broadway again soon! Until then, we're looking back at seven Melanie Moore videos that best celebrate the triple threat.
