We are oh so very excited to announce that Maddie is joining us this season!

Maddie is a recent graduate from Elmhurst University, where she studied dance pedagogy, choreography, and was a captain on their dance team. She has been dancing for 18 years!

She loves to focus on visuals and clean lines as well as physical and mental strength. She is firm believer that setting goals, growth, and creative expression allow dancers to thrive and become well-rounded individuals.

“I am so excited to be continuing my dance journey and teaching with the people that allowed me to fall back in love with it” - Maddie

Fun fact: Maddie was a mini when our owner, Elisha, was a senior in high school! They reconnected while Maddie was in high school when she joined a studio where Elisha was teaching. Such a full circle moment now that she is joining us on staff here at The Collective 🖤🤍

Our Petite Team still has a few spots open for Season III!

We love our “littles” here at The Collective! They are such a fun, energetic bunch & makes the competition experience, especially if you’re new to the sport, so much less intimidating and stressful!

Feel free to send us an email or a message for more information! 💃🏻
