Madonna has six children. Four of which she has adopted from Malawi. The US Queen of Pop spoke about how she feels about the new dance academy during a speech.
"Jacaranda is a very special place, as you know. The reason it's so special to me - not only because there's so many amazing, talented children here - but there's also amazing teachers and the founders are so passionate about what you do. It's contagious," she said.
"What's going to keep us going is loving what we do and it's great that you've created a place where children can come and continue to learn and love what they do," said the 62-year-old.
Madonna said that she would be happy that the children would be learning skills such as visual arts, designing clothes, playing musical instruments, and dancing which she described as her first love.
