From the reviews
I am a total fan of Mariann’s School of Dance. When we moved back to NJ 8 years ago we visited every studio in the area. After meeting with Mariann my daughter and I chose to enroll here. Mariann has a magical aura and makes every dancer and parent feel welcome and special.
I grew up dancing at Mariann’s and went on to become a teacher at the studio. The studio has become a second home. The atmosphere has always been warm and welcoming. Mariann and the rest of her staff are passionate educators who are dedicated to helping students reach their full potential.
I grew up in New Jersey, training at Mariann’s School of Dance for fifteen years. This is where I discovered my love for movement. I was part of the Competitive Dance Company and won multiple Grand Championships at Starbound Nationals in Atlantic City. I went on to college to pursue Dance as a career.
Mariann's has been a part of my life ever since I set foot into my first creative movement class, and I have come full circle to teaching at this amazing studio. It has become a second home, and always puts a smile on my face as soon as I walk in the door.
Your first ballet class at Mariann's School of Dance
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
