About Marr-Mac Dance & Theatre Arts
Then
Deane Marr and her mother Jaqueline Macdonald, founded Marr-Mac Dance and Theatre Arts Centre in September of 1968. Marr-Mac began as a dance school and daycare center, and was run by mother and daughter until Mrs. Macdonald passed away in 1976.
The business continued to run until the day care was closed in 1999. The dance school started primarily teaching ballet and jazz and has since expanded its program to include several disciplines of dance including a musical theatre program. In 1995 Mrs. Marr took on a business partner, Cathy McFarlane who had been teaching classical ballet and character for Marr-Mac for several years prior to becoming a partner in the business.
In 1997 the studio moved to its current location at 8627-109 street into the Windsor Plaza building in Old Strathcona. The friendly artistic community of Old Strathcona is a perfect location for the studio. Parents can stay in the comfort of the studio waiting area, enjoy a coffee in a nearby coffee shop or simply drop off and pick up after class.
Deane Marr retired in June 2015. She has left behind a legacy for the love of dance and the people it touches.
Her leadership at the studio has filtered through to the instructors and is demonstrated by the care and attention given to each dancer and their individual needs.

β β β β β Wonderful dance studio; they have many varieties of dance such such as highland, bollywood, and contemporary. They offer adult classes as well. The year end show is always an enjoyable time. I'm not sure about other levels/genres, but at least for the higher levels of ballet, there are numerous occasions for the ballerinas to compete and dance at many functions.

β β β β β My daughter has done the bollywood class at Marr-Mac and her teacher was AMAZING. Very understanding of her ability and patient. Both of my children have done previous classes here as well and their teachers have been really great and friendly. However, that being said, the parking situation at this location is ridiculous. If you have a vehicle larger than a car or a mini SUV you are going to have issues finding somewhere to park. On two separate occassions someone has parked behind me and I've been boxed in to the point of not being able to leave after my daughter's lesson. I drive a Yukon XL. I have 3 kids and I'm not about to park far away and carry my smaller kids through the snow and ice no matter how great the teachers and classes are. I've also had payment issues. I originally registered my credit card for the first payment and assumed the tuition would be coming off monthly like every other studio (or class for that matter) that my kids have taken. 3 months go by and I recieve an email stating I owe 2 months worth of tuition. They only accept etransfer or in person payments. That's crazy! It's nearly 2020, people use credit cards now. Definitely behind the times and a little more of a headache for the parents every month.
