Meet Maddie

Madeline (Maddie) Fritz has been a movement instructor for over 15 years. She began teaching dance fitness in 2010, followed by receiving her yoga certification in 2018, and most recently fascia flossing in 2023.

Madeline hopes to bring her sparkling light and positive energy through movement to those around her. She incorporates many dance cultures in her choreography, and designs each playlist and class to get you sweating, smiling and sparkling inside and out.

You will not want to miss her all in one feel good class!

How did you discover your passion for movement?

I have been dancing since I came into this world! It is my ultimate passion and gift to share and always has been. I discovered yoga when I was in college in Boston and fell in love with the beauty of the breath, movement and self connection.

What is the most inspiring thing about teaching?

The joy and passion I feel when leading a class and the joy and passion I feel from those who receive my class!

Flashback to your childhood. What do you want to be when you grow up?

Britney Spear's back up dancer :)

How has your personal movement practice helped develop your sense of self and pave the way for self-discovery and healing?

My personal movement practice has made me who I am today. it has always been there for me when I needed it and it has allowed me to expand and come back to myself over and over again in every season of my life. such a gift!

What do you want people to know about your teaching style and classes?

I carefully curate each and every class playlist to ensure it is a high vibrational experience! no two classes of mine have ever been the same, and I pride myself on my cue'ing and fun choreography. I welcome all bodies into my heartspace and always do my best to make it a dance class like no other!

What do you love about BYDF?

I fell in love with the studio environment as soon as I walked up the beautiful marble stairs. I am so excited to teach at BYDF because of the ever so loving and welcoming community and also being able to teach under Rachael's leadership is truly a valuable gift.

Tell us a little more about yourself or what are you up to when you're not in the studio?

When I am not in the studio - I am sewing, embroidering, crafting, dancing, spending time with my friends and family in Maine, exploring the Berkshires with my love and continuing my education to be the best version of myself!

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

I have been teaching dance since I was 13 to all ages, it is my god given gift and I am so honored to share my energy and heart with this sparkling new community! :)
