It's been a while since my last visit to Marr Mac, but I have vivid memories of my experience at…read morethis 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.

They offer a power program for students who take ballet and numerous other classes.

Dance camps anyone? We were lucky to get to try out 2 different camps put on by dance co. One last…read moresummer which was a mermaid theme and over the spring break this year as well. You can really see the instructors enjoy what they were doing. My little can be a bit shy and it was so cool to see her open up and start moving and grooving with the others. A big part of my rating is also based on how well the pivoted during the changes in protocols ect. We always felt well informed and were given tons of options. They do offer a ton of competitive and recreational dancing as well which we are excited to try in the fall, but I definitely can recommend the summer camps. So fun for the kids!

REVIEW UPDATE So we…read moreare now in our 2nd year at Dance Co. and could not be any happier! My daughter did 2 full year long classes last year, attended the summer camp including a pizza party and sleepover, and now both my daughter and son are enrolled again in year long classes. Our experiences at Dance Co have been phenomenal! The quality of instruction and teachers has been top notch, the facility is wonderful, and the staff always friendly and helpful. The only thing I didn't like so much last year was the end of year format for recital time ended up requiring that we purchase tickets to two separate show times and it's through ticket master so you end up paying surcharges on the tickets so they ended up being about $15 each which for a family with grandparents, siblings, and 2 shows to attend ends up being more than a $150. I'm not sure how they could rectify this other than maybe only selling tickets through them and then not having the ticket master surcharge which adds up being close to $40 when you are buying 8 tickets (4 tix for 2 show times). One thing Dance Co. does to help support families with multiple dancers or a dancer that takes a lot of classes, is you pay by the number of hours taught per week. So each subsequent class costs slightly less per hour than the previous class in any given year. And this is the case that swayed me into signing my 3 year old son up for preschool dance this year because his sister is already taking 2 full one hour weekly classes, so why not add on a half hour preschool class on the same night as his big sis? Dance Co. also has a little consignment section which is great for picking up a second hand pair of taps or ballet shoes for your chitlin. They also offer a preschool program that always fills up and looks just marvellous (as I peek through the window). I foresee a long relationship with Dance Co. Two thumbs WAY UP! Oh and don't forget to attend their summer customer appreciation day with a free BBQ, bouncy castle, face painting, trial classes, and draws!

This is the perfect example of a dance academy where it is not about being fair with everybody but…read moreto have favorites. When my daughter were dancing at the suturing my daughter was not aloud to dance at the Ritalin because she was going to be on a school trip for a few weeks and she was going to miss some competitions. We accepted that policy because it was being applied to every body, however the next year it happens again that a student was going to miss some competition for the same reason, and guess what? That student was able to participate in the recital and the competition that she was able to attend. This is not the first situation at that academy, but I definitely, if you want to make your child unhappy take him/her to the academy. I would never recommended it to anybody.

This will be my daughter's 14th year at Celtic Ceilidh (she started when she turned 3). Although…read moreshe began solely in highland, her love of dance coupled with a safe, encouraging studio environment, led her to pursue irish, ballet and contemporary forms of dance. These dance forms have allowed her compete across Canada (and as a provincial rep) for highland, compete in Irish competitions (FEIS) and partake in special performances around the city. Celtic Ceilidh has allowed my daughter to compete as little or as much as she would like, in a non-stressful environment. Her love for dance has been able to grow and foster in a large part, I believe, due to the incredibly caring, passionate, professional and knowledgable instructors, and big-hearted studio owner, Dawn. While my daughter has grown in confidence, built resilience and learned many other important life skills, including good sportsmanship, I believe the biggest gift this studio has provided is the community it has given to both dancers and parents. This is so much more than a place to learn how to dance, but where kids can build lifelong friendships and where I have found friends who are more like family. I am forever grateful for the beautiful community Dawn and her instructors have created.

I went out to Step by Step to... get ready for it... to take an adult ballet class! This is…read moresomething that I have wanted to do for years. While I studied ballet for 14 years growing up, it had been 15 years since my last class, so you could basically say I was a beginner all over again. The dance studio is right at the very front of Sherwood Park, so it is quite easy to get to and not too far from the city. The space itself is nice, a small wait area for the kids in between classes to hang out or for the parents waiting. There are a couple studios - though I only saw two. I was quite nervous when I walked in but the woman who was working at the reception desk was amazing! She was warm and welcoming and totally positive, making me know I was in good hands and in the right place. The fabulous owner, Noelle and her daughter Kristy are always around and are just two of the best people and dance instructors you could find. I observed a youth hip hop class for a few minutes before my class was to start, you could really tell that the kids were learning, super in to it and having a blast. Their instructor was really great. And this themed carried on as I started my class. I have to say, just wow, the man who teaches the ballet classes is just superb: Well trained as a dancer as well as an instructor. Providing the perfect balance or theory, etiquette, history and body consciousness. If you are looking for a dance studio for your children or for yourself, Step By Step is a caring and wonderful environment. You will not be disappointed, so definitely go and give them a proverbial (and literal) swing on the dance floor!
