Rising Heights Dance Founder Madison is SO EXCITED FOR YEAR 5!!!!
Growing up in the Kalama community, Madison began dancing at age 14 in Longview, WA and learned many styles and genres, but focused on her passion of ballet, lyrical, and jazz as she progressed through pointe work and advanced classes. She has been dancing for 17 years and has been teaching for 10 since she left college where she studied musical theater and minored in dance pedagogy at BYU-I. She participated in many showcases and productions in college, as well as took many classes in muscle movement, dance technique and teaching skills!
She is a Progressing Ballet Technique certified teacher, a licensed Once Upon a Ballet instructor, is a certified Danscend Mental Health training for dance teachers, is a member of the Washington State Dance Studio Owner Coalition and the Dance Studio Owners Association, and will continue her own training as she teaches others. She is excited to bring dance back to her hometown and is honored to own Rising Heights Dance!
