Madys Dance Factory offers scholarships to kids who couldn't otherwise bear the financial burden of a full 10-month dance program. To many kids, dance becomes an outlet of emotional and creative expression. Our dance programs offer technique training in many styles of dance including Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Jazz Funk and more.

As a part of an MDF show squad, public appearances and performances are exciting life experiences that will be memorialized in these kids' lives. Mady's Dance Factory has a vision to provide opportunities to become a part of our family, even when life has taken some rough turns.

Dancers chosen for this scholarship are in financial need and we want to help make dance their outlet. Join us in sponsoring a scholarship today for $2,600  or donate any amount towards a scholarship!

Every little bit helps when you are in the business of making dreams come true!

Meet Mady Richmond & help our         vision become a reality!

Madeleine Richmond is a true testament of not allowing a tragic moment in your life define you. Both of Richmond’ parents passed away when she was 7 years old. She was left to conquer the world on her own and find ways to cope with her loss. She found that the best therapy came from dance. It became an emotional outlet for her. She was allowed to express any sadness or anger, or simply just express herself creatively.

Her passion for dance lead her to open Mady’s Dance Factory to ensure that no child would ever feel like they are alone or isolated in this world.

This unique dance studio is a place where all kids, including underprivileged kids can come together and use dance as a form of self-expression.

Q & A:

-MSM Q: How is your dance studio different from other dance studios?

Madeleine Richmond: We are a family owned business that focuses on creating a close-knit neighborhood vibe. We act more like a family than a dance school. We offer programs that are specific to underprivileged kids, and help them become involved in what would otherwise be economically challenging activities.

-MSM Q: What is your vision for community outreach?

Performjng at numerous charity events and partnering with organizations that promote wellness and community. Some of the organizations that we will be partnering up with this year are the Alzeheimers Association Miami, AIDS Walk Miami, Cure Search for Children’s Cancer, and Relay for Life American Cancer Association, Alzheimers walk.,  our vision is to assist children who have lost family members and create an outlet for emotional expression.

MSM Q: How does your background inspire you to serve a particular community? image4

My parents passed away when I was 7 years old. Growing up without parents left me feeling isolated and alone. I missed out on many normal childhood experiences, which made me feel even more isolated. However, I found one outlet where I could be free to show how I was feeling–dance. I want to create an environment where kids can express their different personalities and life struggles through the art known as dance.

MSM Q: What do you hope to have accomplished five years from now?

 To see the growth of kids through many different life experiences is always rewarding. I would want to be a role model, teacher, friend, mother, encourager, motivator and loving influencer in the lives of the kids within this community.
