House of Mari

“Thank you for creating House of Mari, a space that isn’t about competition or comparing ourselves to one another, but is built on supporting each other, finding inspiration, encouraging one another to learn, and rebuilding that often-lost connection—both with ourselves and with each other as a group. Because together, as a community, we can achieve so much more, and it’s enriching for everyone involved.”

"Mari Anne creates a positive atmosphere from the very beginning of the course. She always keeps an eye on all her students and gives everyone feedback to improve. No one is judged for mistakes; instead, everyone is met at their current level and supported accordingly. Through this, as well as her small motivational talks during class, you feel safe and comfortable—also because the positive atmosphere is contagious and students support each other rather than judge. Thanks to this great vibe, you look forward to the class every week."

"Mari Anne's teaching is unique. Her positive energy transfers to each of her students. Not only does she teach us how to dance, she also shows us the importance of balancing the body & nind. She doesn't judge any of her students, but motivates them and that's how her students' skills come to flourish. The special thing about Mari Anne is that she perceives and supports every single person in class. She ensures that all worries and problems are forgotten for the time we share with her. Mari Anne is a teacher who goes deep instead of staying on the surface."

"As the name House of Mari already suggests, it's like coming home! Mari sees, feels & hears each of her students in the safe space that she creates. You are allowed to be who you are. Her qualitive Training covers both the technical aspect and the performance mode and of course it is always so much fun! We love you Mari!"

"The training at House of Mari is simply wonderful & qualitative! I love the atmosphere that Mari creates during training—warm-hearted but strict to bring out the best in us students. Here you get real training, where it is about the students and not the trainer. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to grow as a dancer and as a person."

"Every training is an experience! In no other class I have experienced how connected I can be to myself. Mari Anne is a special person for me because can sense exactly who is mentally present and who is not. She gives the right food for thought and impulses to the group at exactly the right moment and the blockages are released, the energy no longer stays in the head but flows again. I love her classes & energy!"

"Training with Mari is always an absolutely joyful experience! She'll light up the room & fill it with such great energy that you'll always have the feeling of being in a safe space. I really enjoy her dancetraining, her knowledge and the way she is able to get the best out of everybody. Watching other dancers lighting up in class and becoming their best selves is very special to see. And the best part: You'll learn so much more than steps. Join her class and see for yourself!"

"I had the luck to meet Mari Anne, From the very first training session, I experienced her not only as a trainer but also as a motivational coach. Her cheerful, positive, and warm presence is unique and made the classes my weekly highlight. Not only choreography and technique were part of her teaching, but also the joy of dance and movement. Through Mari Anne’s classes, I found my way back to myself and learned to accept and respect my body. This time of dance experience gave me more confidence and self-assurance. Mari Anne uses dance not only as motivation, but also as a way of self-discovery. Through her words, she reaches many people and speaks directly to their hearts. This special quality is important in creative work, as it allows people to open up. Her friendly and humorous teaching style makes learning with her incredibly easy. Mari Anne is an extraordinary person who truly values the people around her and shares her positive energy with her environment. Thank you for everything and for the wonderful time!!!"

"Just a few months ago I heard about Mari Anne's jazz class. I was really curious since everybody was speaking highly of this energetic and entertaining class. I went with high expectations and they were more than fulfilled. I have never been to a dance class where I find myself not only learning new dance moves every week, but also being motivated to outgrow myself. She sees you even in the far corner ! Mari Anne is not just some normal dance teacher, she is the most free spirited, motivating and energetic human being who manages to pass on her positivity to everybody in her class. Especially on stressful and bad days Mari Anne's class can put a smile on your face!"

"If I had to describe Mari Anne in just a few words, I would say: motivated, always in a good mood, cheerful, and empathetic. She is someone who gives a lot and from whom you can learn a great deal. In her classes, the focus is on fun and passion. You learn to let go, forget everyday worries, and just “dance it out.” She never lets me forget what I love about dancing and shows me new sides of it that I didn’t know before. I like her classes because I am not judged there and others let me be exactly as I am. I have learned to be less self-critical and to forget, even if just for a moment, the question of whether I am doing it right. It doesn’t matter if you make mistakes, because in Mari Anne’s classes there are no mistakes!"

"Mari: besides all the gratitude, I want to say that through your way of teaching, holding space, sharing your energy and love for detail, your presence, and your clear but open guidance, I not only had an incredibly enriching learning process as a dancer (which I am very proud of ;)) but also got a glimpse into a way of dancing that is not only structured but deeply felt—healthy, supportive, reflective, and sustainable. Your inspiration motivated me even more to pass this on. I already noticed changes in my everyday life between weekends—in my dreams, my awareness, and the energies around me. Thank you for activating and pushing. Thank you for your love and power, and for showing up so fully."
