Mandy Ellen dance group consists of 39 dancers aged 10 – 24. They are part of the Mandy Ellen School of Dance which has 500 members based in Maidstone. This group was put together especially for Britain’s Got Talent. It is the first time the school has entered a competition as they normally put on variety shows at their local theatre. Mandy Ellen, 36 runs the school and has been teaching since she was 18 she describes the group as a family as some have been with her since they were 4.

Mandy has danced all her life, she decided to go into teaching after finding the whole audition process of professional dancing disheartening. She also gets a lot of satisfaction from teaching.
