Madison DeLong received her BFA in Dance Performance from Kent State University in May of 2017. Raised in Perrysburg, Ohio, Madison has studied in various styles of dance ranging from modern and contemporary to jazz and hip-hop. During her time at Kent State University, she discovered her passion for both performance on the concert stage as well as for choreography.

Madison was a three- year member of the Kent Dance Ensemble, a pre-professional dance company within the dance division. During her time with Ensemble she worked with many guest artists, most notably Garth Fagan of Garth Fagan Dance, Stephanie Martinez of Chicago and Christopher Evans of Hofesh Shecter Company/ Gecko Theatre. Madison’s own choreography has been presented in various venues such as concerts at Kent State, Ted Talk series, the American College Dance Association Annual Conference and at international conferences.

She found a love for international collaboration during her time at Kent State. She is a founding member of East Meets West, an educational and artistic collaboration between students of Kent State University and Suan Sunndha Rajabhat University in Bangkok, Thailand. She also had the privilege of studying in Florence, Italy at the Openflr choreographic intensive during the summer of 2017 as well as at the Koresh Dance Company pre-professional intensive.

Madison moved to Philadelphia in the summer of 2017. She is a company member of Kelli Moshen’s Project Moshen Dance Company.
