MADISON SPENCER
ADA AMBASSADOR
MEET MADISON I am Maddy I am 15 & live in North Wales. I started dancing when I was 2. My biggest achievements are probably getting down the the last 30 for BBC’s Taking the Next Step p, Season 2 and also taking part in Season 1 of the BBC’s The Greatest Dancer where I received personal recognition from Cheryl Cole. I am also extremely proud to have placed 5th in my solo Dance World Cup Acro routine and 4th in my Showdance solo scoring points for my Welsh team.
WHO INSPIRES YOU? My inspiration to start to dance was Michael Jackson after watching his MoonWalker video. Now I am inspired by Briar Nolet as her work ethic is amazing. I also think she is very advanced and unique with her choreography and style. My Parents also inspire me as I see how hard they work for me to follow my dreams.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ACRO OR TRICK MOVE? My favourite Acrobatic move is Handstands and all the variations you can do from them. I also recently have been learning the 540 jump skill and am working on cleaning that up.
WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS? My goal is to keep dancing for as long as I enjoy it and to hopefully be able to make a career out of performing. I would love to travel so possibly cruise ships with a final dream of becoming some other dancers inspiration. I would love to be able to choreograph in the future as I know dancing can be a short lived career.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE EQUIPMENT? I am really enjoying my hand canes as this is a really new skill I have started to develop through Acro Dance Australia. I really also enjoy my aerial hoop and again this is quite a new skill for me but I’m lucky to have a aerial hoop frame at home. I also regularly practice acro skills on my air track.
WHAT IS A TYPICAL DAY IN YOUR LIFE AS AN AMBASSADOR? I love being part of the Acro Dance Australia Ambassador Team, the training we get is amazing. I have learnt so many new skills during my time with them. It’s really great to see that even though they are the other side of the World we still get to experience the wonderful coaching methods. For me this is a really positive thing to come out of the pandemic and how we have adapted to learning through different ways. My Sunday starts quite early with a Handcanes class, followed by Acro, Contortion and Tumbling Technique class. I am also really lucky to have 1-2-1 coaching through a private lesson with Steve and work on strength and technique and new tricks. My week is usually spent then in school and at my dance classes and practicing and new skills.
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE PIECES OF MUSIC YOU LIKE TO DANCE TO? Waves by Dean Lewis, you are the reason by Callum Scott, Home by Edith Whiskers.
WHAT OTHER DANCE & ACROBATIC STYLES DO YOU DO? Currently i train in modern, tap, ballet, commercial, Irish dancing, acro dance, Irish, lyrical, contemporary, Jazz, Musical Theatre, Ballet. I do aerial hoop, hand canes and tumbling. At the moment I am trying to improve my weaker areas and take more classes in those genres to make me an all round performer
IF YOU COULD PICK A NICKNAME WHAT WOULD IT BE? Sometimes i get called pocket rocket because I’m quite short in height but have great power in leaps and turns and tricks. I think it probably does describe my style.
