Madi Crandall

Madisen’s dance journey began at the age of eight in Utah’s vibrant competition scene, leading her to a successful career marked by recognition for her choreography skills and technical prowess. After high school, she secured a spot in the prestigious School of Dance at the University of Utah, where she honed her craft for two years. Transitioning to the professional scene in Los Angeles, Madisen worked on various projects, including appearing as an extra on the hit TV series “Kids Say The Darndest Things,” and dancing for artists such as Gerardo Ortiz. Following her retirement in 2020, Madisen has continued to channel her dance passion, becoming a UDA certified competition judge and choreographing for dance teams throughout Utah. Embracing her role in nurturing the next generation of dancers led Madisen to a teaching position at Lifehouse, the studio where she graduated, which she has enjoyed greatly. 

Madisen has also obtained a bachelor’s degree in English with an emphasis in creative writing as well as a double minor in dance and environmental science from Utah Valley University. She is currently pursuing a masters in dance education. Upon college graduation, she was honored to accept a London-based fashion writing internship where she was published three separate times. When not teaching or choreographing, she finds joy in writing and is working on a five-book fiction series.
