Born in Kansas City, Missouri, actor and dancer Madeleine Quinn was dancing before she could walk. She began dance lessons at the age of two and competition baton twirling by the age of three. With a baton in the hands of that whirlwind of energy, it was only a matter of time before a TV was broken and the baton was retired in favor of further dance training at Priscilla and Dana's School of Dance, where she competed for seven years. Madeleine continued her dance career in high school on the varsity dance team, serving as captain and choreographer. She is trained in jazz, tap, ballet, lyrical, modern, hip hop, pom, and basic ballroom. Madeleine's love for performance extended beyond dance, leading her to begin taking acting classes at the Kansas City Coterie Theatre as a child. She participated in countless community and school productions over the years, starring in her high school productions of The Addams Family and Picnic among others. In 2017, Madeleine flew across the country to Los Angeles to chase her dreams of acting. She acted in Almost, Maine, as Ophelia/Lavinia in an abstract piece of Shakespeare's work, and as the Angel in Angels in America, along with multiple short films. In 2019, Madeleine studied in a conservatory style program in Europe where she worked with the Moscow Art Theatre and the Michael Tschechow Studio Berlin, as well as learning to stilt-walk. Following this training, she performed in a production of Spring Awakening in Germany as Wendla Bergmann and in a production of The Wolves, where her dreams came true as she was able to bring her love of soccer, and her many years of playing the sport, to the stage. A flurry of energy and vivacity, if she's not acting, dancing, or playing soccer, she's likely running or walking dogs.
