Madison Cronin - Guest Choreographer

Madison is an ex-ballet dancer. She trained pre-professionally in Sydney at Tanya Pearson Academy and upon graduation moved to complete her training at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague, Netherlands.

Over the following two and a half years living in Holland she worked with the Dutch National Ballet Junior Company and Netherlands Dance Theatre. Madi had the opportunity to work with and perform works by world renown choreographers in both classical and modern repertoire including Hans van Manen, Jiri Kylián, and Crystal Pite. She also performed leading roles in ballets such as Giselle and The Nutcracker.

One of Madi’s career highlights was premiering a new full length neo-classical ballet, Diamante by Katarina Wester, together with Julien Keulen (now with Swedish National Ballet) which was choreographed on them in 2017.

After a wonderful time overseas Madi returned home to New Zealand at the end of 2018. She is currently completing her Masters of Dance Studies at the University of Auckland, centred within choreographic research. Alongside her choreographic pursuits, Madi is also a Producer for contemporary dance companies in NZ, a ballet teacher & coach, and a group fitness instructor. She is so grateful for all the incredible people she gets to meet working throughout many avenues of the dance industry, and is very excited for projects ahead.
