Dance Classes

Mareli offers classes in many styles of dance across a wide age range. The styles of dance available to each pupil relate to their age and ability. Please see the descriptions below for a guideline. Many factors influence which group a pupil is assigned to, including any previous dance experience.

18 months and above

Diddy Dancers (general movement class)
Suitable for tots from 18 months, our Diddy Dancers class is run by expert early years practitioners.
We have an energetic and eager group of Diddy Dancers, who are full of life and curiosity and engage well in the class. Props are used to help maintain focus and interest! The main focus of this class is to acclimatise our youngest dancers to the classroom setting while having lots of fun!

SCHOOL AND COLLEGE AGE

Pupils within this age bracket experience the vast diversity amongst our staff. From expert early years practitioners, to a PhD degree holder in Dance, qualified I.D.T.A dance teachers, vocal technique specialists and ex-professional dancers, we have a wealth of experience that we love to share.

Adults (those who trained in dance during their childhood/teenage years)

Over the years, we have welcomed back countless ‘grown up’ pupils, returning to Mareli to join in with our thriving adult dance classes. Classes are vibrant and fun. Whilst many return with a few ‘butterflies in their tummy,’ it doesn’t take long to rekindle the technique and ability in dance that was developed during childhood.
