Monica Marsden, Acro & Commercial Tutor

Monica started dancing at the late age of 16. She studied dance at Hillsborough College and furthered her dance training and education to a BA (Hons) degree at the University of Gloucestershire where she graduated with a First Class Honours degree. She is now working as a professional dancer and teacher.

Monica specialises in contemporary and commercial dance and takes regular classes in these styles to keep up with her training.

Portrait of Monica Marsden

Having the opportunity to share something I love with my students and to watch each of them grow week on week is what fuels my motivation and passion for teaching dance. Dance helps build personal character, creativity and confidence and brings so much joy to each individual.

Monica Marsden

She currently teaches dance in schools. Monica leads our International Dance Teachers’ Association (IDTA) Acro for Dance classes and our teen and junior Commercial classes, assists with our other IDTA classes on a Saturday as well as providing cover across our adult and junior timetables when needed.

Monica’s future goals are to audition and tour with a contemporary company, become a dancer on a cruise ship and dance backup for well-known artists.
