Madelyne Spang (born on September 5, 1997) is a dancer from Pennsylvania. Madelyne's dance training began at the age of two at Borelli's Dance Gallery in Pennsylvania, alongside her older sister Michelle. However, her dance training gradually came to a halt as she hit her preteen years. When Madelyne was just eleven years old, she says she almost quit dance. A year later, the Spang sisters discovered Studio 19 Dance Complex, which Madelyne says felt more serious and competitive. She enjoyed the atmosphere immensely, leading to the sisters deciding to transfer. Now she trains and competes with Mather Dance Company in California, just as Michelle did in her last year of dance.

Trivia
[edit | edit source]- Madelyne's favorite styles of dance are jazz and hip hop because she loves how happy, fun, and upbeat they are.
- The inspiration behind Madelyne's solo "Control" was her jazz solo from two years prior, which was almost undefeated. She says "Control" was designed to help her grow as a dancer and to top her old solo.
- One of Madelyne's biggest challenges as a dancer is pushing through her lack of flexibility in her hips.
- Madelyne once danced in a routine with Chloe Lukasiak called "Hanging by a Thread".
- Madelyne started cyber-schooling to better manage her time spent between school and dance.
