Our Institute
The Melody Institute is dedicated to the teaching of Chinese (Mandarin) language and Chinese traditional, ethnic, folk, and modern dance in the Seattle area. Under the instruction of Melody Xie, the Institute offers a range of classes available to students of all ages (2 to adult) and levels.
The classes are centered around students: Tailored to suit students' needs and goals with a variety of engaging, developmental activities to enhance the lessons. The small class size (10 to 12 students maximum) allows for more individualized, engaging, and focused learning.
