Maddy the dancing diva
Her accomplishments at her young age have made her parents happy and proud.
A young talented star has been making waves at just 7 years old. Madison Taylor Besseling is a gymnast and a Grade 1 learner at Laerskool Fairland.
‘Maddy the dancing diva’ is what her family and friends call her, because of her dancing moves and her passion for dancing.
At just a young age, this star has participated in multiple competitions.
“Since she was a child, she loved to dance and move around. She is very energetic and loves music. There is always space and time for a cartwheel, handstand, and split,” says her mother Melissa Besseling.
Her father Clifford added, “She is a total extrovert and doesn’t shy away from anything. She is also very artistic and loves to draw and paint and play with her dolls. A very imaginative girl who loves the outdoors and is always keen on sport.”
Recently, she participated in ‘The Next Level of Dance’, where she won first place in Solo Hip Hop and Lyrical in her age category, Mini Kids – Amateur.
Maddy started dancing when she was just 5 years old at the El Rhythmic dance studio and according to her mom, her dance instructor, Eloise Siebert Hinrichs loved her energy and encouraged her to take part in any competition or event that came up.
Since then, she has been taking part in competitions and festivals throughout the year.
Maddy is going to compete in the Randfontein Arts and Culture Association Eisteddfod in August and if she wins she will have a chance to compete at Talent Africa. She is also going to compete at the Gauteng championships hosted by the Allstyle Dance Association.
