Maddie is currently a senior at Chadwick School and has been dancing since she was three years old. She danced at a traditional ballet academy until she was twelve years old at which time she started to experience negativity related to her body. She continues to dance today and her journey has led her to more inclusive dance communities. Maddie created this website through her senior APEX project at Chadwick as her way to make a change in the dance community, particularly for younger dancers. Her inspiration for this topic was from her own personal experiences. She wished she had easy access to these types of resources when she started doubting her body image. Through this project, she hopes that dancers will find the support and tips that they need in order to feel confident to continue dancing and be healthy.
