Madelyn LaLonde is a native Houstonian who attended the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. HSPVA inspired her to further her training and attend the State University of New York at Purchase College. Madelyn graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Conservatory of Dance in 2018, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts along with a minor in Arts Management. Upon graduating, Madelyn joined Elisa Monte Dance, under the artistic direction of Tiffany Rea-Fisher, as an Apprentice before being promoted to Company Dancer. She then became a founding Company Member of EMERGE125 in 2021 and is currently in her sixth season. Utilizing her knowledge obtained in Arts Management, she served as the Lake Placid School of Dance’s Administrator managed by EMERGE125. During her tenure with LPSD, she worked closely with School Director, Tiffany Rea-Fisher, to bring high quality arts education to the Adirondack area. Some of her achievements at LPSD include: continued safe dance education during unprecedented times through the Covid-19 pandemic, assisted with bringing back in-person performance opportunities for the students, and increased student enrollment through the school’s participation in community events. Working within the North Country community inspired her new administrative position as the ADK Liaison for EMERGE125.
