LANGUAGES Help in the pronunciation of songs in French, Italian, German, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Czech – and help to understand the meaning!
COMMUNITY SINGING Marianna leads community choirs and workshops.
PIANO She is a solo pianist of classical and romantic repertoire.
ALL DANSING. Yes - you read it correctly! These are gentle circle-dances choreographed from simple songs which we always learn first. What a song and dance!
