Tutor Bio Maddie's journey in ballet began at the age of three. At eight, she joined the Royal Ballet Junior Associates, and by eleven, she was training at Elmhurst Ballet School. After eight formative years there, she continued her studies at Northern Ballet, performing with the company in the corps de ballet. Her nine-year professional career included dancing with English National Ballet, Birmingham Royal Ballet, Vienna Festival Ballet, Ballet Cymru, and New English Ballet Theatre. She also freelanced in London, performing at various events and in films. Among the many ballets Maddie has danced, Swan Lake holds a special place in her heart. Later in her career, she also discovered a passion for contemporary dance, with these productions standing out as some of her personal highlights. Now having taken a step back from performing, Maddie is dedicated to teaching ballet. She works with students of all ages, focusing on strong technique, artistry, expression, and elegant port de bras. Maddie aims to share the joy and dedication that defined her own ballet journey, helping others explore their passion for dance.
