Marel is an amazing teacher! She has so much knowledge, and a profound desire to share that knowledge with her students. She’s incredibly generous with her time, patient, attentive and kind. I have learned so much from her and hope I can continue doing so as long as she plans to teach. Adult ballet students in Halifax are incredibly fortunate to have such a gifted and dedicated instructor.
Enjoyed this class very much. Due to my lack of the language, I felt that I could grasp the class without always looking to someone else to follow. It was a well balanced class for me without becoming overwhelmed by French terminology which is now becoming much easier for me.
Marels explanations for each exercise is extremely good and helpful.
Marel is AMAZING. What a great class. Not only does Marel provide a really clear understanding of the how and why of of alignment, balance, turnout etc, but she also demos the form and the nuance of the basic ballet vocabulary beautifully. I love it.
I also really appreciate her investment in her students – she’s such a caring teacher, spends time with every student, and tries to help them improve within the scope of their abilities. She’s probably been teaching for a long time, but I get the sense that she’s dedicated to every student that shows an interest in learning. She’ll bring exercises particularly geared to a student’s issue, or recall something a student was doing in one class and help them with it in the next. She’s just not a teacher that shows up for class and then walks away and doesn’t give it another thought till the following week. You get the sense that she is on the journey with you, and cares about your learning. What a gift to her students. Thank you, Marel!!!
Great class. Meryl is amazing. Great teacher.
