BIO:

    Born in Jacksonville, Florida, 4-year-old Madison wanted to be just like her baseball-playing older brother. However, after she spent more time twirling in the outfield than she did keeping her eye on the ball, her mother decided to trade T-Ball for tutus. 

      She then began her dance training at Ballet Arts Center under the direction of Beth Marks and Heather Loveland. She tried other artistic endeavors along the way such as figure skating and playing piano, but like other 'Bunheads' in her family tree, nothing enthralled her the way ballet did.

As an aspiring ballerina, she attended Lavilla Middle School of the Arts and Douglas Anderson High School for the Arts. Here, she was a member of Dance Theater and the National Dance Honor Society. She also frequently performed alongside the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra, presented work at the National High School Dance festival and became a representing student choreographer by winning the ‘National Choreographic Excellence Award’ from the National PTA Board. During this time, Madison joined the competition/convention world as she transitioned to Barbara Thompson School of Dance. Upon graduation, Madison attended Florida State University where she continued to showcase her own works and learned alongside the MANCC organization- the world’s only National Choreographic Research Center. In 2021, she graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Dance. Along the way, she was fortunate enough to work closely with masters such as Christopher Huggins, Suzanne Farrell, Ilana Goldman, Jawole Willa-Zolar and more. 

      Now, Madison is professional dancer living in New York City. She has performed in a variety of professional shows both in and out of the city, in addition to contract residencies at MGM’s Borgata in Atlantic City, and Caesar’s El Dorado in Reno, Nevada. This past holiday season, Madison was the Dance Captain for the First National Tour of “Christmas in the Air”. Previously, Madison was invited to join the Radio City Rockettes Conservatory program and assisted Katie Walker and Sarah Hodge in the Precision Dance Collective. When she’s not dancing, you can frequently find her strolling through Central Park, bartending or in a yoga class!
