the story behind the magic
Meet Melanie Salas, a former first-grade teacher turned entrepreneur with a profound life mission:
to make a positive impact on everyone she encounters.
Melanie's daughters, Sadie and Sydnie, started dancing at the age of 3 and are now 14 and 16, dancing for their studio competition team and their high school dance team. Dance has woven itself into the very fabric of their lives, nurturing their spirits and teaching them invaluable life lessons.
From the moment they first stepped onto the recital stage as a frightened 3 year old, to the moments of heartache when they faced disappointments, and all the way to the exhilarating highs of monumental achievements – each of these experiences has played an indelible role in shaping Sadie and Sydnie into the individuals they are today.
But this story is not just about the incredible journey of two young dancers; it's a testament to the unbreakable bond between a mother and her daughters. Melanie has been by their side every step of the way, sharing countless hours of laughter in dressing rooms, hugging them when they are in tears over disappointment, and beaming with pride as she watched her girls take center stage. The dance floor has not only been a platform for their performances but also the stage upon which their deep, unshakable connection as a family was built.
Then, like a precious secret passed between dear friends, a fellow dance mom shared a heartwarming tradition with Melanie. It involved a simple yet profoundly meaningful gesture - attaching a dance charm to her daughters' costumes every year. This charm was a symbol of unwavering support and love, a silent promise that no matter what trials and triumphs lay ahead, she would always be there, right beside them.
Thus, "The Tradition of the Dance Costume Charm" was born. Melanie recognized the need to transform this touching tradition into an enduring storybook and an official tradition that could be embraced by others, transcending generations. This cherished keepsake would be passed on from dancer to dancer, from one loving generation to the next. It symbolizes a mother's enduring love, unwavering in the face of the highs and lows that come with the dance journey.
Through her heartwarming story, Melanie hopes to inspire others to embrace this tradition, for it serves as a profound symbol of commitment and love for the dancers in our lives. The Dance Costume Charm is more than just a trinket; it's a powerful reminder that a mother's love, like the music that accompanies every graceful step, is a constant presence throughout the dance of life.
Melanie resides in New Braunfels, Texas, with her husband, Chad, their two daughters, Sadie and Sydnie, and their two Labradoodles, Gracie and Indie Rose. Melanie's most treasured place on earth is the lake, where she creates family memories while also finding moments of stillness to dream.

What dancers and moms are saying about the tradition of the dance costume charm
“This charm is so special to my daughter. It gave her a calming presence to help with her stage anxiety & she doesn’t want to be without it on stage from here on out. A special token for sure that she cherishes so much!”
-Jennifer D.
”The Dance Costume Charm has created a moment for my daughter and me to share at each and every competition. It has created a space for us to talk about how much she is supported and loved, and how proud we are of her hard work and commitment. In an environment that can often be full of pressure and disappointment, it helps us focus on the bigger picture and what really matters as she grows and works to achieve her goals.”
-Erin P.
“My mom passed away last year and my daughter is doing a solo in her memory. This was the perfect opportunity to start this tradition. Even though it’s just our first year, I know this will remain one of our favorite memories of dance together.”
-Tanya L.
“My daughter gets very nervous before she takes the stage. So much so that I wasn’t sure if she would continue to do solos. Putting the charm on as she gets ready has allowed us time to talk through nerves and ensure she is mentally ready to enjoy the time on the stage. I’m thankful for this reminder to slow down and remember what’s most important about dance. “
-Lauren P.
