Our Team.

Jessica is the heart behind The Dance Floor. She is a momma and bonus mom to four children and wife to Jeremy, co-founder of The Dance Floor and Founder of The Dance Floor DJs.

​

Jessica's professional career includes over 20 years of home finance and real estate sales, along with a vast collection of event production from Mixed Martial Arts Shows, Food and Beverage Conventions, and Women's Empowerment Showcases. Her fondest accomplishments include fundraising events for people that have experienced life-changing tragedy. Lastly honorable mention goes to the bazillion over-the-top kids parties over the last decade that have always brought her such joy.

​

Jessica would describe herself as a woman of faith and family and it is this heartset that has led her to combine her experiences with her lifelong love of dance to bring a family centered dance venue to you.

​

Jessica was raised competing in ballroom and latin dancing. this morphed into a love for both social dancing and private instruction and choreography. Whether the music is Salsa, Tango, Waltz or anything in between she is on The Dance Floor. Her love exceeds just traditional ballroom and latin dancing, as she joyfully recalls talent shows and "dance offs" as far back as she can remember. "If it has a soulful beat, I'm about it", she says.

Owner and Founder of The Dance Floor DJs, Jeremy Braza pursued his love of music at the age of 13 and spent years perfecting his mixing, remixing and music production skills. In the early 2000's, Jeremy first made his name as one of the top broadcast DJ's in the New England area as a On-Air Personality and Mixshow DJ. Yearning to capitalize on his success and truly show his musical abilities, Jeremy took his talents on the road. Performing all over the country has allowed him to perform and work with some of the biggest names in entertainment such as Chris Brown, T-Pain, 112, T.I., LMFAO, Kanye West, and John Legend, to name a few. 

​

After spending the better part of two decades traveling, rocking parties and the airwaves, Braza's legacy was clear - to raise the bar of what a private event could be, and deliver an experience that shatters the perception of what they used to be.

 

In 2013, Braza formed The Dance Floor DJs a boutique entertainment company focused on elevating the typical wedding entertainment experience.

Melissa Caldarone

Line Dance Instructor

Melissa Caldarone is a line dance instructor & event coordinator based in Rhode Island. Melissa began Ballet dancing at the age of two, but fell in love with line dancing in 1995. Having not been a fan of country music, it only took one experience of two-stepping around the floor and line dancing the night away to realize her passion for country music and the dancing that goes along!  

Since then, Melissa has been dancing with multiple line dance groups to all genres of music around the state.  Quality instruction mixed with a super fun time is what propels Melissa to stay at the top of her line dancing game! She attends workshops and conventions multiple times throughout the year so that she can bring the latest trends to her groups. 

 

In 2015, Melissa started an annual workshop called "Get In Line RI". This event grew year after year and in 2020, Melissa began to host line dance lessons. In 2022 she instructed at the "NELD 4 Kids" workshop. Currently, Melissa teaches multiple line dance events weekly at various venues and has now joined The Dance Floor family.

Melissa will be leading the way with all things line dancing including your private functions, group events, and our Corporate/Team Building Parties.
