Owner and Director, Marie Bahner, brings nearly 30 years of dance teaching experience and a lifelong passion for inspiring dancers of all ages. Her dance journey began locally at Dance Horizons in Redlands, California, where her love for movement and performance first took root.

Miss Marie began her professional dance career at the age of 17 and has performed as a member of several dance companies while continuing to train with some of the industry’s most respected choreographers. Her extensive experience as a performer, educator, and mentor allows her to bring a unique combination of technical knowledge, creativity, and passion into every classroom.

In addition to her dance background, Miss Marie holds a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, giving her a strong foundation in teaching and child development. She loves working with children, teens, and adults, helping each dancer build confidence, develop skills, and discover the joy of dance.

But her story is only the beginning—Miss Marie’s greatest joy is creating a positive, inspiring environment where dancers can grow, dream, and RISE.
