The Limit is Imaginary with Madeline

Madeline is an accomplished dancer from Twin Arts Dance Studio, where she began her dance journey at just two years old under the guidance of Heather Perdew and Deborah Mathews. Raised in a nurturing environment, her mother is a dedicated teacher and her father serves as a police officer. Madeline’s educational foundation was laid at First Baptist Christian Academy, where she attended from Pre-K through 12th grade, engaging in numerous academic honor societies and excelling in the Student Leadership Institute.

Madeline’s academic journey was thoroughly shaped at First Baptist Christian Academy, where she was a student from Pre-K through 12th grade. During her time there, Madeline distinguished herself in a range of academic honor societies, including the National Honors Society, Science National Honors Society, Rho Kappa Social Studies Honors Society, Mu Alpha Theta Mathematics Honors Society, and the Thespian Society (theater). Additionally, she was a four-year member of the Student Leadership Institute, and her leadership abilities were further recognized when she served as the Varsity Cheer Captain in her 12th grade.

Beyond her academic achievements, Madeline was also an active participant in athletics. She was a FBCA Warrior Cheerleader from 6th grade through 12th grade, attended four NCA cheer camps, and was a finalist in the 2023 TAPPS State Cheer Competition for "All Star" and "Top Jumper." 

She also competed in varsity track for two years, specializing in high jump, where she consistently placed in the top three at the TAPPS State Track Meets in 2021 and 2022, eventually earning the title of "Female Track Athlete of the Year" for 2022.

Madeline's commitment to dance was complemented by her additional training at various prestigious institutions. She honed her skills in dance and acrobatics at iMpact Dance and Acro, under the guidance of Mandy Haring. She also received training at the Texas Academy of Acrobatics and Gymnastics with Anna Smirnova and improved her dance preparation through All Star Dance Prep, led by Nicole Vanlandingham. Her rigorous training and diverse educational experiences have undoubtedly contributed to her well-rounded development as a dancer and athlete.

Madeline has been accepted to both Oklahoma City University and Texas Woman’s University in Denton, Texas. She is pursuing degrees in Physical Therapy and Dance, aiming to utilize her passions and experiences in training fellow dancers in proper techniques, fitness, and injury prevention. Madeline is also auditioning for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, a step towards realizing her dream of dancing professionally. She is enthusiastic about making the final preparations for college life in a new city and embracing the challenges and opportunities this new chapter will bring.

Madeline’s journey is deeply rooted in her faith, as reflected by her favorite scripture, Psalm 46:5, "God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day." Her personal mantra, “She believed she could, so she did,” encapsulates her approach to her challenges and ambitions. 

When not dancing, Madeline enjoys spending time with her family and friends, maintaining her fitness, and relaxing with her pets, including her dog Maggie and cats Daphne and Dolly. Her favorite cuisine includes pizza and chicken with rice, and her preferred musical genres are Christian Praise and Worship and Country. Despite her busy schedule, she finds time to enjoy comedies and crime dramas, which are her favorite types of TV shows and movies.
