Who we are
MAGGIE MONK
SCHOOL OF DANCING
Formerly a professional dancer in the West-End and on television, Maggie Monk founded the dance school in Chesham with one class of 9 pupils back in 1984.
Since then, the school has gone from strength to strength and now operates 6 days a week with classes in many different disciplines.
Who we are
OUR MODERN
HISTORY
In January 2002, Maggie was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, which is a totally debilitating illness with no cure, and in March 2006, Maggie sadly passed away.
The school was taken over by her daughter Natalie and head teacher Fiona who continued to build on Maggie’s success until 2017 when the legacy was passed to former student Georgie Ketteman.

EXAMS and
PERFORMANCES
Exams are taken in the internationally recognised IDTA syllabus and we currently hold a 100% pass rate! Since 2016 we have also offered Graded Contemporary and Street Dance with the iD Company Syllabus.
Pupils also take part in our bi-annual school show, performed at the Elgiva Theatre in Chesham. Every show is completely original and is produced using a professional crew, giving the pupils the chance to experience performing on a big theatre stage under professional conditions and supervision.
There are also various other opportunities to perform locally for all our students. In particular, our Dance Troupe, who rehearse weekly and perform at professional theatres throughout the area.

What Our STUDENTS Say
MAGGIE MONK SCHOOL OF DANCING
I’m Rosetta and I have been dancing at Maggie Monks since I was 4 years old. I love that at this dance school you are able to dance with your friends but you are also able to have a laugh with your teachers too. The show that we did recently was very tiring and very sweaty but it was probably the most fun thing that I have done all year.
I’m Eleanor and I have been dancing at Maggie Monks since I was 3 or 4. Everyone as this dance school is really fun and I really enjoy dancing here.
I’m Mollie and I have been dancing at Maggie Monks since I was 2 or 3. At this dance school everyone is very supportive and nice, if you get something wrong then they help you to get it right. I love to dance because I feel different to other people when I dance.
