ABOUT ME
MONIKA
Hi, I am Monika, and I love people. I do what I love and I love what I do. I help women to fully express themselves and to become the most amazing version of themselves.
My 30 years of experiences as a dance coach, performer, choreographer, seeker of true wisdom, natural healing, truth, desire to understand the human mind and body lead me to paths where I find suffering as well as success, true love and fulfilment.
I gained knowledge also by studying @ RMT- Tony Robbins/Cloe Madanes Coaching Institute, becoming a Certified strategic intervention life coach
I a also won many awards for my work as a dance coach, worked with many celebrities, created numerous dance styles, won several competitions and followed my desire to create my holistic clothing brand, SAMBAWAMBA.
I have certifications in YOGA, Aromatherapy, master degree in finance, a happy wife, a mum of 2 and a woman who lives life with passion & purpose who simply continues to honouring her callings. I fully surrender and trust the Universal guide within me.
I have many decades of experiences working with women from all over the globe as a coach, adviser, teacher, consultant, mentor, helping them to reconnect with their true selves, to live with alignment and joy.
Slovakian born Hungarian, living in UK, Brazilian samba master, married to an English born Kashmiri/Pakistani, mama of 2, with a passion for her mission and purpose.
3 decades of experiences serving women from all areas of life to achieve their dreams.
She comes from a technical ballroom/Latin dance background, trained and competed in Latin American dance from an early age up until her final years at University.
After receiving her master degree in economics and finance, it was time to say good buy to her teenage love-affair with dance: “DANCE IS NOT A CAREER”- as she was told, so it was time to be serious about the professional corporate career world, as she should.
‘I’ve got a UNIVERSITY DEGREE IN FINANCE AND POLITICS.
It was not a choice of my authentic self.
It was a desire to meet my need to be loved.’
Let’s just say I did what I had to do, what I was told to do. I was expected to study medicine to follow family traditions, instead I chose the easiest option to get a degree, picked Economics so I can follow my dream as a dancer while I was also making everyone else happy.” After her graduation she moved to London for 1 year study and work where MAGIC happened! She was randomly discovered at one of London’s salsa clubs and she said yes to her very first offer she received to coach dancers in her elegant, polished Latin style, choreograph shows and perform. Her logical mind was saying: ARE YOU CRAZY???? But the spark in her heart went into flames and she followed her calling. Of course the journey was not always sparks and glam.
And that is how it all started….
Monika Molnar, founder of a multi award winner DANCEMYWAY dance company, dance teacher, choreographer, celebrity dance coach, designer, pioneer and creator of Latin Dance Workout, and her signature Latin Jazz which also featured on Discovery Channel and became popular in most LONDON gym chains. (before ZUMBA came along) Latin Jazz style-became a global hit in the dance industry opening doors to SOLO Latin for women, where she combined feminine energy with movement (little did she know how this was a beginning of a much bigger and meaningful career as a coach/mentor/. Latin jazz style kicked off an avalanche off clients, students due to its unique method of body mind connection. It also became one of the most popular dance classes at PINEAPPLE dance studios, becoming fully booked with 1-2-1 clients from all over the world, including many celebrities.
I will not tell you what to do. I will show you how I do it, my perspective on it and I will empower you to find your own style. Then I will guide you to your own creativity so you can do it Your Way.
Her portfolio also includes: coaching Cathy Guetta, coaching Romola Garai for her lead role in Havana Nights (Dirty Dancing 2 – Miramax Production), personal coach to Slavica Ecclestone, Dee Dee Wild, Cathy Guetta and many other celebrities.

When she is not coaching, mentoring she loves to immerse herself into creating harem pants, earrings – (founder and designer of a holistic clothing label, SAMBAWAMBA Harem pants), home made cosmetics, playing with essential oils, creating blends, teaching yoga, fully being in the present moment and simply enjoying the grace, life has to offer. She is a passionate nature lover.
