She began teaching dance at her home studio in  the Central Valley of California at the age of 15. In addition to her  teaching, she participated rigorously in the studio’s Competition Teams  by traveling, performing, and competing all over California. In 2012, she relocated to San Francisco to attend San Francisco State University, earning a minor in Dance. While attending SF State, she dove deeper into her dance training, participated in several Student Choreography Showcases, served as a member of the University Dance Theater Company  2014-2015 and as Student Dance Alliance VP 2014-2015. She has been teaching Ballet, Pointe, Contemporary, Lyrical, Jazz, and Jazz Funk at a variety of studios and summer camps around the Bay Area since 2013 and received a Choreography award at a local competition Dupree Dance in 2015. Madelin has been an integral part of  choreographing and directing performances and studio management. When she’s not dancing, Madelin enjoys spending time outside on walks,  gardening in her yard and traveling.

JanJan

Marketing Assistant and Teacher

Combo Jazz/Tap, Ballet, Hip-Hop, Lyrical/Contemporary


JanJan  (they/them) is an Asian American gender-fluid movement artist and  storyteller, born and raised in the Bay Area. They’ve been training in  various styles, including ballet, jazz, hip hop, contemporary, lyrical,  and more for over 10 years now. Against all odds, JanJan graduated high  school early to pursue teaching and dance. JanJan is known for their  hard hitting musicality, raw & authentic movement, fusion of styles,  and emotional story based dance pieces; using movement as therapy and a  form of communication. 

JanJan’s  dance training formally started at the age of 6 with Westlake School of  Performing Arts, West Coast Dance Conservatory, Krazy 8, and Poise’n  Brigade. They grew up as a competition dancer, training over 20 hours a  week during their studio years, taking advantage of every excuse to  train and dance. Dance was and still is something that JanJan is truly  passionate about and finds so much joy in. Their traumatic experiences  as a student is what drives them into becoming “the teacher I wish I  had,” making it their number one priority to create a safe environment  before anything else. 

Although  venturing into the teaching world, JanJan believes that they will  always be a student as they are always eager to learn new things.  JanJan’s teaching journey started when they were on a club swim team,  teaching the younger kids as a side job. They slowly progressed into  assisting and shadowing other dance mentors for many years before  finally trusting themself to independently teach. Now teaching at  studios all over the Bay Area, JanJan finds so much joy in teaching and  says, “It feels like I’m healing my inner child.” 

Along  with dancing, you might also know JanJan from their online content on  several social media platforms, including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram,  Twitch, and their writing as a self-published author. JanJan is  extremely excited to see what’s in store for them as a teacher and for  all of you as students. They cannot wait to see all of you grow!
