This summer is going to fly by…if your thinking if joining us please email ballet@marinadance.co.uk to secure your’s or your child’s place.
Please see the picture below for information on our first Sunday Specials day…we hope to make this a monthly affair! Open to everyone, not just current students. To book please email ballet@marinadance.co.uk.
Our new shop at the studio is opening along with the start of term! Come down and check it out and get all your uniform ready to start back to dancing. Opening hours will vary until we get into the swing of things, give us a follow on instagram @theshopatmarinaschoolofdance for all up to date information.
We are pleased to announce we will be running a summer school over 4 weeks of the summer at our studio in Overton. There are classes running daily for all age groups so please get in touch for more information or to book a spot.
We are thrilled to announce yet more fantastic exam results!!
5 girls completed their RAD ballet exams right before the national lockdown was announced after Christmas. The results were amazing will all distinctions and Merits.
19 girls took part in Acrobatic Arts exams on February 14th live on zoom, we had a massive 16 distinctions and 3 excellent’s. Well done to all who took part, it was a brilliant experience.
Our students created and learnt dances during the first 5 weeks of term in all of their zoom classes. With these dances filmed we managed to create our virtual showcase. The result was amazing! well done to all our pupils who took part. Please enjoy the show….
9 very brave students allowed me to film their RAD ballet exams all very last minute before the lockdown started....the results are in and I'm so very proud, all merits and distinctions! A huge well done to all of them, what an achievement during 2020.
Sadly we will be back on Zoom from Monday 9th November after the announcement of our second lockdown. You can enrol for these zoom classes via our online portal once registered as a student. Fingers crossed it wont be for too long and we can all be back in the studio together soon!
After a fantastic start of term and jiggling a few classes around we now have availability in the majority of classes after half term, please email ballet@marinadance.co.uk to enrol in lessons.
The children have all settled in wonderfully and we are enjoying our new studio home so much!
We are finally re-opening! We are very excited to announce that Marina School of Dance is moving home to a beautiful new studio in Overton from September. Our new timetable is out and enrolment has started, the majority of classes are happening in the new studio but we also are doubling up on ballet classes in Whitchurch. Check out the timetable for more information.
Due to current government guidelines all our classes have now moved to online and will take place via zoom. This isnt as scary as it sounds! Everyone has very quickly adapted to this new way of working. We are looking forward to returning to face to face classes as soon as it is safe to do so.
After the success of our 10 year anniversary show we are now enrolling new students in all our classes. Please contact us now to book your space for January. All classes are starting back week commencing January 6th. We look forward to meeting all our new pupils!
