House of Mari & Mari Anne

House of Mari is a professional dance training, mentoring & performance coaching space and institute, founded by Mari Anne in Cologne, Germany.

House of Mari offers workshops, pop-up classes, performance coaching for both emerging and established artists and special programs, creating opportunities for dancers and artists to train, explore, and grow in a flexible and inspiring way.

Mari Anne is a Dutchie living in Cologne, Germany! I started dancing at the age of four in the Netherlands and have spent over 20 years working as a professional dancer, model, choreographer, and performance coach across Europe. I’ve worked with artists like Helene Fischer, No Angels, Taylor Swift, and Pitbull, performed on major TV shows, and collaborated with international brands. see more > About Mari

House of Mari goes beyond traditional dance training. While many institutes focus mainly on technique, we work with the dancer as a whole. Our approach combines technical training with performance coaching, energy management, and personal development.

We work in small groups to ensure individual attention and real guidance. Every dancer is seen, supported, and challenged in a way that fits their personal journey.

With over 20 years of professional experience on and off stage, the method at House of Mari is built to be both high-level and sustainable—helping dancers grow without burning out.

It’s not just about becoming a better dancer, but about becoming a more aware, confident, and authentic artist.

The Inside Out Dance Program is a 3-month intensive mentoring experience with 9 live training days (3 weekends, 54 hours total). You’ll train in Jazz, Contemporary, Commercial, and different Urban styles while learning the basics of Energy Management. The program includes personal mentoring, direct feedback, homework assignments, and at least one professionally filmed choreography.

House of Mari’s Energy Management is a holistic practice designed to help you move with energy, perform with confidence, and connect deeply to your authentic self.

Using tools like movement, breath, and mindful focus, you’ll learn to stay energized, release tension, overcome stage anxiety, and express yourself fully—so performing feels powerful, effortless, and truly your own.

The program runs over 3 months with 9 training days total (3 weekends).

Between weekends, you’ll have homework assignments to deepen your learning and reflect on your growth.

Classes are taught in both German and English. Mari is fluent in both languages and adapts based on the group composition.

Groups are intentionally kept small—maximum 15-18 dancers per level—to ensure personalized feedback, individual attention, and a safe, supportive community dynamic.

Cancellation and refund policies are outlined in the terms & conditions, which you’ll receive before booking. If you have specific concerns, we can discuss them during your consultation.

Dancers are responsible for their own health and liability insurance. We recommend having coverage, as dance training involves physical activity and inherent risks.
