Madeline Benoit’s first professional dance job was as a tap dancer for the North Carolina Youth Tap Ensemble led by Gene Medler. She then studied precision dance in high school and went on to be a Kilgore College Rangerette Lieutenant and Head Swingster. She moved to NYC at 19 to join the BDC professional semester. Most recently, she was an NBA dancer for the New York Knicks where she performed halftime routines with Iggy Azalea and Tinashe.
Some of her favorite credits include being a featured dancer in the Emmy award winning Amazon series, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and a dancer for the Super Bowl XLV Halftime. Besides performing, Madeline has been an assistant and associate choreographer to JT Horenstein, creating routines for NBA dance teams Knicks City Dancers and Brooklynettes as well as The Cosmopolitan Magazine awards and others. She was also a dance assistant for the world famous Radio City Rockettes education department in NYC.
She is currently a guest instructor for various studios and so incredibly grateful to be joining the BDC family that gave her her start in New York! #heelsthatheal Follow her @_madeline_benoit on Instagram and @themelonator on TikTok

Madeline’s heels classes are all about having a safe space to be playful. Where you can explore your sexuality and sensuality in movement. This is a class where you are given the freedom to love yourself, however you show up each day, and allowing that to feed into your dancing. This class is a judgment-free zone, open to all. Madeline wants everyone to leave the class feeling empowered in realizing all that they are capable of. #heelsthatheal
