An internationally recognized school for classical ballet and contemporary dance education.
Established in 1996 as a non-profit organization, Marin Dance Theatre has quickly become an internationally recognized school for classical ballet and contemporary dance education. Our innovative training programs based on techniques developed over the last thirty-five years by our founding Artistic Director, Margaret Swarthout and School Director, Lynn Cox have provided children ages 3-19 exceptional dance instruction in a nurturing environment.
The dance education center is located in one of Northern Californias most spectacular and pastoral settings, a 175-year old Spanish-style mission located twenty minutes north of San Francisco.
Enrolled in our year-round programs are students from all over the United States. When students graduate, some follow a career-bound path in the world of professional ballet; others enter university performing arts programs, and many choose to pursue dance as an avocation.
