Madhu connected the dots between her two
passion in life: teaching children and dancing. While volunteering her
time to teach kids dance, Madhu realized the passion she had in dancing
as well, so she established Masti Dance Academy in 2011. Having taught
for eight years in Plano independent school district as an elementary
teacher, Madhu... realized
her team’s importance as teachers and ensures that classes at Masti
are based on self-worth, discipline and respect.
Her prolific career is a reflection of her values of growth;
respect; remaining humble; inclusivity and professionalism. While
Madhu began her dancing career as a self-taught dancer from watching
movies and dance videos, it was seeking learning anywhere and
everywhere that made her a professional. Her teachers are too
numerous to count, but she has travelled through India learning from
Terrence Lewis’s Academy in Mumbai to having grown up with Garba in
Gujrat, and while she is helping her daughter pursue an acting
career in Tollywood, she keeps polishing her skills by doing dance
covers.
