Madison has performed the works of Martha Graham, Crystal Pite, and Paul Taylor and new choreographic creations by Ohad Naharin, Desmond Richardson, Andrea Miller, and Darrel Moultrie. She was chosen to present her work in Juilliard's 2019 ChoreoComp program and later, worked as Rena Butler's choreographic assistant for the Juilliard New Dances: Edition 2021 production. She has been a featured dancer in various marketing campaigns for Apolla Performance and was a dancer in the 2021 Warner Brothers film, "In the Heights". 

From 2022-2023, Madison worked as a company dancer and teaching artist with GroundWorks DanceTheater where she performed new creations by choreographers such as Antonio Brown, Peter Chu, Rena Butler, David Shimotakahara, Spenser Theberge, and Sidra Bell. Last December, Madison staged and rehearsed Rena Butler's "This, That, and the Third" on the students of George Mason University and recently worked as her choreographic assistant for a new creation for the University of North Carolina School of the Arts.
