Welcome to the

Marwyn School of Dancing

'Our aim is to cultivate and promote a love of dance through friendly, professional tuition through a number of dance mediums taught for children and adults of all abilities'

We are a small friendly school, established in 1946, with branches in both Ipswich and Felixstowe.

The School's Principal is Jacqualine Bloomfield U.T.D Diploma, who is assisted by her teachers, Vickie White F.U.T.D, Michelle Bloomfield M.U.T.D, Tanya Verow and Kelly Williams F.U.T.D. The School offers dancing lessons in Ballet, Tap and Modern at both schools, and also Acrobatic Dance at Ipswich.

Pupils are prepared for examinations in the syllabus of United Teachers of Dance in Ballet and Tap from the age of 3, and in Modern from the age of 5. Examinations are held twice yearly and although pupils are taught to the examination standard, it is not compulsory to take them.

The School also works towards a biennial show, performed at a local theatre. Here, pupils have the opportunity to demonstrate their work in public, and the School raises money for local charities. Some months after the show, pupils are invited to take part in Medal Tests, which give them a chance to perform their show dances in front of a UTD adjudicator. They are awarded marks and are rewarded with individual medals and certificates.

Classes are held both at our studio in Bath Road, Felixstowe, and at Foxhall Road, Ipswich, both of which have a sprung floor. We also use a pianist for some classes. Classes are held after school hours on Mondays to Fridays in Felixstowe, and Tuesdays to Saturdays at Ipswich. Pupils are required to wear the correct, regulation uniform as well as have their hair tied back. Uniform can be purchased through the School at competitive prices (see Uniform section of this website).

For further information about the School, please contact our Principal Jackie Bloomfield on 01394 272851 or through the contact page of this site.
