Maggie Duerden - MAD Academy classes in Dorking, Reigate, Redhill and Horely

MAD Academy...
music & dance and a whole lot of fun!

Maggie Duerden

Maggie has had a passion for music for as long as she can remember and started singing in church choirs when she was five, going on to become Head Choir Girl.

Some of her fondest childhood memories are singing and dancing around the house to her Dads old LPs.

Since then she has sung in several semi-professional bands around the South East and recently moved into musical theatre.

Whilst working as a PA/Administrator Maggie dreamt of escaping the ties of office life. The birth of her son, Alfie, prompted her to find an enjoyable career that involved music and would fit around her family.

Maggie has always believed in the power of music and is overjoyed to be a part of the MAD Academy team. She loves the fun, free-spirited approach to learning that MAD Academy classes offer, and is thrilled to be able to introduce children (and parents) to the magic of self-expression through movement and dance.

Maggie runs classes in Dorking, Reigate, Redhill and Horley.

Testimonials

The following comments are from some of the parents who come to Maggie's classes:

‘Thank you so much for all the fun dancing and singing. We have really enjoyed MAD’
Eloise and Tommy’s Mum
"We love the sessions and I think that the one this week was the best one ever!!! The things you do are so inspiring. I've been telling anyone who will listen about the skipping ropes game and the different things we did with the rope and then ending with making a rainbow (it was so sweet when they all put the ropes together to make the rainbow that I almost cried!!)." Charlie's Mum
'We're looking forward to the next MAD Academy session already, although my friends seem to think that I probably enjoy it more than the babes do as I am always telling them what we've been up to in the sessions!!!!!'
'I have to say that I really do like the energy of the sessions - things seem to happen in a much more natural way, more educational and heaps more fun than any other classes that we've tried. It's FAB!' Mum to Charlie 21 months.
'We love MAD Academy! I like all the varying sections of each class and my daughter is always buzzing on MAD Academy day, smiling, singing and doing the actions all day. She's always pointing at her T-shirt saying "MAD Academy".' Mum to Elizabeth 19 months.
'Wonderful variety of topics, toys and songs. Definitely the best class we do!'
'Great variety, it keeps moving and they don't get bored - so don't change anything! It's the highlight of our week.' Mum to Amy 20 months.
