Madi Kennedy

Madison Kennedy is a 3rd generation dancer who began dancing at the age of 3 at her grandmother’s studio in Norco, Ca. After her grandma’s retirement, her mom took her straight to “Just Plain Dancin” in Riverside Ca. Just Plain Dancin is rated in the top ten studios in the country. She began her journey as a competitive dancer at JPD and was trained by her mentors Mandy Rogers and Terry Schulke from the age of 5 until she graduated at 18. During that time, she was part of an award winning team for 12 seasons on the competitive circuit. She won many high point awards with her team and as a soloist. Her last year as a soloist, she was awarded Ms. Starpower in Las Vegas NV. Although competitive dance was a large part of her dance career, she also was able to participate as a company dancer in POV (Points of View) led by Ms. Terry Schulke, performed at the Dance Awards in Los Angeles and was an advocate for Dancers with Cancer. You can also spot her at age 10 in Meghan Trainor’s music video as little Meghan in “Dear Future Husband”. During her time at Just Plain Dancin, she was also given the opportunity to travel and assist her choreographers across the country and began teaching beginning to advanced level dancers from ages 5-16. Madison is very excited to be joining the staff at JDI as she continues sharing her love for teaching with her students while attending college to follow her dreams to be a dentist. While working on her degree, she enjoys training as a dancer and keeping active in the dance community.
