Cast and Crew
Madelyn Burnham
Artistic Director/ Marketing Manager/ ChoreographerMadelyn Burnham is from Victoria, Minnesota where she attended Mayer Lutheran High School and graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College with a BA in Theater and Dance. She has been choreographing for 12 years now for musical theater, dance studios, and her own dance company. She founded the company in 2019 in Minnesota. She has had many opportunities to create work. Her most recent work was a mainstage show for the company, Pieces of Me, performed in April 2024. Being able to choreograph, produce, market, and put on full-evening dance work was the best experience she has had yet as a creator. Being able to see the dancers shine and to see the work finally on display to others for them to be able to relate to and enjoy is so rewarding. She is hoping this company touches those who witness the work the same way it touches her. Her move to Orlando, FL has given her some time to grow and gain insight as a creator. The company was able to stay in touch through the gift of technology. When in Florida Maddie taught at Skyra Studios as well as Underground Movement. Maddie looks forward to sparking more ideas, collaborative opportunities, and performance outlets in the future.
