ALIX-MARIE GODDEN : AMG DANCE Founder

Hi, I am Alix founder of AMG DANCE.  My passion has always been Dancing and I have danced from the age of 4 years old taking lessons in Ballet, Tap, Contemporary, Jazz,  African and Kathak Dance. I later qualified as a Fitness instructor so I was able to expand and share my love of dance and fitness to adults. 

I have performed in Local Pantomimes, Site specific dances and had the opportunity to be a part of a local Youth Group where I was able to work with amazing teachers and Choreographers.  After attending university and being apart of many showcases, exams, workshops, Youth Groups and Dance events, I decided that dancing in the community is where I wanted to be.  I really enjoy sharing my knowledge and helping people. I  wanted to set up a company that was non competitive to encourage everyone to dance, no matter your background or experience level. From this, AMG Dance was created 10 years ago. 

My dream and ambition for the company is that all of the dancers in the lessons feel comfortable enough to dance like no one is watching, express themselves and keep fit. As well as this I want  to inspire the dancers to learn, grow and build confidence in their own ability as a dancer whether it is their passion or hobby. Confidence is believing in yourself and I wish to bring this out in everyone that attends lessons in my company. 

5 years ago Alix started teaching dance at Wayfield School, where she teaches Key Stage 1 and 2 pupils technical elements of dancing as well as intergrating dance in to their topic work.  This has allowed Alix to develop as a dance teacher and develop her connections in the Medway Area.  I have really enjoyed sharing my knowledge with the children and giving them performance oppertunities to showcase their work.
