✨Madison Tucker✨
”Hi everyone! I’m Madison Tucker! I am a 15 year alumni, past teacher’s assistant, and choreographer of DT Nation and a recent graduate of the CLI Conservatory in Northampton, MA where I trained in commercial, concert, and musical theater dance. I have trained closely with dance educators such as Teddy Forance, Martha Nichols, Riley Watts, and my mentor Jakevis Thomason. I was also a part of Encompass Dance Project’s Chapter III and Reign training programs. I am so excited to work with you all and I can’t wait to see what this year holds!”

✨Taylor Burchett✨
“Hi DT Nation families!
My name is Taylor Burchett! Dance Trap was the very first studio where I began dancing, so having the opportunity to return as an instructor truly feels like a full-circle moment.
I graduated from Appalachian State University in 2025, where I was a member of the App State Dance Team and had the honor of serving as captain during my senior year. Before college, I attended Mount Pleasant High School, where I was a cheerleader and also served as team captain during my final year.
Dance and cheer have been a huge part of my life for many years, and I love helping young athletes and performers grow in both skill and confidence. From traveling all over the US, working for Starpower, watching dancers from all over, it is incredible to see the community that dance creates!
I am passionate about creating a positive, encouraging environment where dancers can learn, have fun, and build lasting memories. I am so excited and grateful to be part of the DT Nation family!
Looking forward to an amazing season together! 💙🖤✨”
