Mariel Perez was practically born dancing. 💃 “Dance is literally engraved in me — it comes down from my great grandparents,” she said. “I knew at a young age that I wanted to be a dancer and eventually show people how to dance.”

Today, she does just that as owner of Melaza Dance Studio in Manchester, with a mission to “build community through dance and preserve Latino dance, music, and culture.” She offers a variety of classes for dancers of all levels, professional choreography, and dance socials and other events.

When Mariel was planning and launching her business, she didn’t have bank financing and she was on her own figuring out what supplies and marketing she needed. But after she received a Community-Driven Economic Empowerment accelerator grant from the Community Loan Fund in 2023, she joined a community of awardees who received coaching and networking opportunities. With the funding, she bought essential equipment for her business.

Today, the business is doing well enough that Mariel can think about future growth — and offer advice: “The thing that I will tell someone who is in the process of opening a business is to stop doubting themselves,” she said. “You’re the one that has this fire or this urge to pursue and create this idea... trust that instinct and just go for it." 🔥
