Welcome! I am Mariale, founder of

Dance Dojo Dance

My journey as a dancer began at five years old with a ballet lesson, where I discovered a deep love for movement and self-expression. I vividly remember spinning in the studio with a wide skirt, guided by my teacher; an inspiring and cherished memory that continues to fuel my passion for dance today.

Dance Dojo Dance was born from my personal journey of reconnecting with that passion and my desire to connect with others through dance, sharing the joy it has brought into my life. I have experienced dance not just as an art form, but as a valuable resource for personal development. For me, dance has been a powerful tool for emotional expression, stress relief, and overall wellness, and I want the same for you. Our classes provide a safe, welcoming environment where everyone can thrive, celebrating learning, movement, and connection.

 

Inspired by the Japanese word “dōjō,” meaning “place of the way,” our classes (both in-studio and beyond) serve as a sanctuary where dance becomes a form of meditation. Every step, rhythm, and breath promotes self confidence, inner peace, joy, and connection.

 

Whether you’re here to develop new skills or simply enjoy the joy of movement, you’ll find a supportive atmosphere. All of our classes are inclusive, designed for both neurodivergent and neurotypical participants.
