What Dancers Say About Marina Studios

4.9/5 from 39 Google reviews.

Annelies and her husband who set up the very smart Marina Studios, are the most friendly, bubbly and proactive people! I absolutely love going to my weekly dance class called Latin Fit and they have just installed a superb new sound system which made me dance with even more enthusiasm than normal! It is the highlight of my week, going to the dance studio and very reasonable membership fees too!— Chip Jenkins

Marina Studios is such an amazing dance studio. They offer a great range of classes and all of the teachers and staff are super friendly and welcoming. The whole atmosphere is really supportive and it’s a great way to meet new people. Their classes are a range of levels and the intermediate/advanced classes are great for me as a trained dancer. Love love love!— Georgina Hunt

Fabulous dance studio in Brighton. It provides different kinds of dance classes, mostly at the evening. Jazz, contemporary, hip hop, commercial and Afro dance, etc. Tutors are professional and amazing. Usually is 1 hour class, good price with single class, but even better with bundle. Easy to go, 20 mins by bus from city centre, right next to the bus stop.— Luc C

What an incredible place! I teach classes all over the UK and Europe and this is one of my favourite places to teach and train with others. Marina Studios have amazing facilities and each member of staff are eager to please and look after their students and teachers, often hundreds of people at once.— Sasha

Frequently Asked Questions

Salsa is very approachable early on once you have the basic step and timing. Fluency and turns take practice, but most people dance simple patterns within a few classes.

Yes, salsa is regularly picked up by people with no dance background. Beginner classes break the moves down so newcomers can follow easily.

Is it possible to learn ballet as an adult?

Adults can take up ballet through beginner-focused classes made for later starters. Regular practice builds the strength and posture the style relies on.

There is no age limit for enjoying and progressing in ballet recreationally. Early training only matters for professional performance.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?
