In four short years, the beguiling 14 year-old Madison Lindstrom has accumulated numerous credits as a dancer, actress & model.  From print campaigns for Sears and international children’s retailer, Vertbaudet  to dancing with the Alberta Dance Theatre to parts in several films. 

Madison’s winning combination of talent and an upbeat personality serve her well and she impressed judges at the influential  ITP showcase (International Talent and Performers)  where she won several first place trophies as well as 2005 Model of the Year" (ages 15 and under).  ITP is attended by industry notables like choreographer-dancers Ryan Rankine and Donyelle Jones from the hit TV show So You Think You Can Dance and sizzling choreographer JaeBlaze.

Years of dance, modeling and acting training led to Madison pursuing competitions as a means to showcase her talent.  She has won multiple awards in pageants and walked away with the crowns for Miss PreTeen Calgary 2006 and the national pageant, Miss PreTeen Canada Scholarship 2006.

Born in British Columbia in 1994, Madison, a Métis of Cherokee descent on her Mother’s side, she lived in Calgary for most of her life. As a young child, Madison’s creativity was channelled into dance lessons and after several years Madison’s mother finally gave in to her daughter’s desire to perform upon realization that performing is Madison’s true calling – not a whim – and later relocated to Toronto to further Madison’s dream.

In Toronto she continued with her training and had the opportunity to study dance with well-known choreographer/dancer Chantelle Leonardo, and JaeBlaze. Between the two of them, they have worked with Nelly Furtado, Black Eyed Peas, Nelly, Sean Paul, Rolling Stones, Shaggy, Foxy Brown, Shawn Desman, Vicki Winans, Lil Romeo, Jully Black, Gloria Gaynor and Ja Rule.  She also studied with JaeBlaze.

In many ways, Madison is a typical teenager – listening to Hilary Duff’s latest CD and devouring the re-runs of the Suite Life of Zack & Cody – despite the lofty highs and not so typical experiences of winning regional and national pageant crowns, winning dance and modeling awards, studying with elite dancers & choreographers and receiving attention from major media outlets such as Canada A.M and 680 News.
