Best Dance studio in Marin. Why we love 'Dance with Sherry Studio':…read more-Sherry is a former Rockette!!! Seriously amazing dancer and talented teacher. Who would you rather teach your kid, a 20 year old or a professional? I'll take professional any day. -Class for my 5 year old was at the perfect time. -No need to purchase tap shoes for your kid because the studio has tons to borrow, so you dont have to spend $$ every time your kids feet grow. Love this. - My daughter is always having fun and progressing each class. - Very reasonable prices for classes. - The older students are fantastic! Sherry really knows what she is doing to teach kids how to tap and musical theater style of dance

Suzie was so welcoming and supportive. I now call her my "dance therapist." She had me dancing in 1 session and really feeling comfortable in 2 lessons. Not kidding here folks. I was a VERY reluctant dancer. I actually had tons of fun dancing at a friend's 60th birthday party and then a couple weeks later at a wedding. Mission Accomplished and much future joy to be had. Suzie - you are truly a special person and instructor. Thanks for your support and talents in getting this guy up on the dance floor. And I'm not done. I plan to keep taking lessons with Suzie on an ongoing basis about 2 times per month. Why stop now?!

Suzie is absolutely incredible! My partner and I were looking for someone to choreograph and teach…read moreus our wedding dance to a specific song. We are not doing any other dancing the day of our wedding except for our first dance, so we really were looking for something that could be specific to the song, and a routine that we'd remember for years to come. We've been dancing country line for years, but haven't really done a whole lot of couple's dancing or modern dance, so I have been mostly used to choreographed dances where I knew what to expect, needed some lessons in following, and my partner needed some instruction in leading. We did the 6-lesson package with Suzie and are incredible glad we did. She spent the first lesson-and-a-half getting us comfortable with ourselves, each other, and different beginner positions, and she worked with us to improve and add onto our choreography with each and every lesson. She never was a stickler for time and made sure we were at a comfortable stopping point before ending each class, and was incredibly patient with us throughout the learning process. Her sense of humor and easy-goingness made it very comfortable to ask questions, practice on video, and work with her as a whole. Because of COVID-19, we never actually got to go into the studio and all our classes were done via Zoom, but honestly, that just goes to show what an absolutely incredible instructor Suzie is. If you're looking for wedding choreography or lessons, talk to Suzie!!

I was one of the older students in the open division adult classes for the last 2 years or so. I…read morehad never taken ballet at an early age so while I lacked the proper body training and preparation and attempted to start ballet at age 60 (15 years ago) I nonetheless had redeeming qualities, that being grace and good musicality and sometimes good form in certain movements. I could keep up with the speed pretty well, am fairly intelligent and enjoyed the rigorousness of the classes and the excellent teaching, as hard as it was for me at times to "keep up" because of my aging memory. At one point, 2 other women in my class (at least 50+ years of age) ganged together to bully and intimidate me because I wasn't dancing "in form" across the floor. One of them accused me of never having been in a performance before, and she was wrong--I performed at the College of Marin Dance Concerts as a student there. They had no right to gang up on me like that, and the teacher had never said anything about it. I was insulted and angry. I took the matter up in a private meeting with the teacher and executive director of Marin Ballet. I didn't expect much results but at least the offending party stopped going to that class for awhile. The bad news is, the instructor became suddenly very unfriendly towards me afterwards like he was angry at me for "rocking the boat" or something. I was very sad about that, and took classes until the end of my 20-class card that I purchased earlier and then left for good. When I told the office manager that I wasn't coming back and why, basically all she said was "have a nice day". In my book, there is absolutely no excuse why anyone should be bullied in a dance class, especially an older person. We should all feel welcome in dance classes, and I certainly never had this problem in any other dance classes I attended at other Marin dance studios and College of Marin. In fact, I was often complimented by the teachers. So I think the students that bullied me were completely out of line, and I had no support around that. I'm surprised that Marin Ballet wasn't more understanding around this issue, even though I know it does happen more on the professional level. But we were not all professionals in that class!
