✨ STRONGER MINDS. STRONGER US. ✨

We are excited to officially welcome Dr. Melody Fung (Hong Kong) to the IYDC 2026 Faculty Team as part of our Signature IYDC Synergy Workshop Series 💫

As a registered Dance/Movement Therapist, Social Worker, Mindful Yoga Therapist, and Company Wellness Counselor for Hong Kong Ballet, Dr. Melody Fung brings with her a wealth of experience in dancer wellbeing, performance psychology and nurturing the whole dancer — mind, body & heart.

A former competitive dancer and RAD Solo Seal Award recipient herself, Melody deeply understands the pressures and emotions young dancers face throughout their dance journeys. Through our IYDC Synergy Workshops, she will empower participants with practical mental tools to: ✨ Build confidence ✨ Manage performance stress & anxiety ✨ Develop resilience & emotional awareness ✨ Cultivate healthy competition mindsets ✨ Perform with greater focus, presence & confidence

At IYDC, we believe dance competitions should go beyond medals and rankings — nurturing confident, resilient and emotionally healthy young performers both on and off stage 🌍🩰
