What Our Parents Say
I know it’s silly that we travel from Fleet but a few years ago my partners daughter did a show with you in Fleet that we attended and everything about it was amazing and it really did have a family feel. From that day I liked your page on Facebook and then saw what you did for all the students during the pandemic with the hearts and I just knew then that this was the one for Emilia, another family for her, people who genuinely care about all their students and everything they do.
Emilia has only been with you a short while but her confidence has already grown massively and I can’t thank you enough. Not only do you focus on the musical theatre but also developing every student. When she came out with the paper where they had all written what they like about each other I knew that travelling each week was worth it, this is something she can keep forever and helps her to believe in herself.

Maxine is the principal and heart behind everything at Meraki Studios. You will find her at the heart and soul of everything that happens here.
As someone who has dedicated her life to the performing arts both in training, working professionally and teaching she believes that everyone should have a chance to experience all that the performing arts offers as it gives us so much in return.
our Dance Classes
We offer a wide range of classes to suit all ages and abilities.
We bring together a creative team and a cast of dancers who create a dance based on a concept. Each routine will be taken on location to make a video shoot. Every shoot will be based around a concept theme.
For example; you could be in a nightclub scene in a pop video, on a beach location in a contemporary dance piece, a Christmas video shoot or Singing and Dancing in a Musical Theatre production shoot.
Each video shoot will be tailored to the chosen concept and will have different requirements.
But what will remain the same is our cast will be the stars!!!!
"Every single teacher has created a nurturing environment where she has achieved beyond her dreams."
"A wonderful environment for kids to learn and develop. The last show was a brilliant experience!"

"This is an amazing dance school with a great family atmosphere. My daughter is very shy and lacks confidence and the team here are doing amazing things to boost her up.
She feels good about herself and seeing her smile while dancing is just fabulous!!
She loves going, has made great new friends and really found a love of dancing again."
Laura
"My daughter settled straight in and was soon taking exams and became part of the junior competition team.
Every member of team are so friendly and supportive, they really are one big family and we are so proud to be a part of that.
We have both made some fabulous friends here and cannot recommend the school enough."
Julie
"I cannot recommend this school highly enough! I have a 6 year old boy who has been dancing with the school for 2 and a half years and he thoroughly enjoys his classes and loves his teachers.
He has recently participated in a spectacular show and his confidence on stage was just awesome.
I hope he enjoys dancing with you all for many years to come."
