Originally from Calgary, Alberta, Madi grew up immersed in the world of competitive dance. After high school, she moved to Vancouver to pursue professional training through the Intensive Training Program at Harbour Dance Centre, where she became deeply integrated into the commercial dance scene. It was during this time that Madi also began teaching spin, and discovered a deeper passion: movement in all its forms.

Whether it’s dance, fitness, or something in between, Madi believes wholeheartedly that movement is medicine—and that it’s for everyBODY.

Over the next five years, Madi trained and performed extensively, including dancing with Studio North Dance Complex, while also building her teaching practice in both dance and fitness. In 2024, she returned to her roots in Calgary, bringing with her the experience and insight gained from her time in Vancouver. Now based back home, she has expanded her fitness repertoire with a strong focus on both spin and reformer Pilates. She loves how reformer pilates connects her to elements of movement that feel much like dance—while remaining accessible to all bodies and experience levels.

Madi is incredibly grateful to be part of Shine, an organization whose mission of connection, empowerment, and celebration through movement fully aligns with her own values. She loves traveling back to Vancouver each competition season to support the events and feels deeply inspired by the community that Shine continues to grow. Looking ahead, she hopes to help bring Shine to Alberta—sharing its vision with even more dancers and families.
