Madison Lence

Madison was introduced to ballet at the age of thirteen through the encouragement of her mother. Not long after her introduction to ballet, she began serious training in classical styles of tap dance, jazz, and similar contemporary genres. Her love of dance took her to train at a local dance studio in her hometown where she was encouraged to fuel her passion for dance by teaching classes beginning at the age of fifteen. Teaching dance, as well as a passion for the academic study of, and research in dance, led Madison to graduate with honors from Brigham Young University-Idaho with a Bachelor of Arts in Dance Pedagogy, emphasizing in percussive dance styles, world dance, and jazz technique. While attending BYU-I, Madison was involved in numerous performance and teaching opportunities. Such experiences include, but are not limited to, dancing with school company teams such as Collegiate Dancers, and Dance Alliance, choreographing for student-produced productions, as well as instructing introductory-level tap technique classes for multiple semesters.
