Marr-Mac Dance & Theatre Arts

It’s been a while since my last visit to Marr Mac, but I have vivid memories of my experience at this dance studio.
I have been studying dance since I was 5 years old (thanks, mom!), so the first thing I did when I moved to Edmonton was find a dance studio. One of my girlfriends recommended Marr Mac. I love this studio’s location: it is at the back of the building occupied by Movie Studio and is very discreet. The studio itself is in the basement and consists of several large dance rooms. There are hardwood floors and wall-​to-​wall mirrors in every room. I signed up for musical theater, hip-​hop and jazz. Additionally, there are ballet and tap classes.
What can I say about the intructors? These people bring out the best in their students and make everyone believe in themselves. They are quick to provide encouraging words and to commend, and they never reprimand or discourage. There were several older women in my hip-​hop class who confessed that their feelings of inadequacy upon starting the class disappeared as the classes progressed, thanks to the instructor’s professionalism and encouraging words.
I didn’t get a chance to experience it first hand but as far as I know, Marr Mac’s students get to perform onstage at various venues and to take dance trips abroad. Our musical theater teacher mentioned that once we master our routine, we will get to perform onstage. I wish I stayed at Marr Mac long enough to see this happen. Unfortunate circumstances made me stop attending this wonderful studio. I am thinking about resuming the classes very shortly.
