Our Purpose:
Maranatha exists to provide high-quality training in a Christ-centered environment that nurtures each student and allows them to thrive. Whether our students study for fun or train to pursue professional careers, it is our goal to be a positive influence in students’ lives to help prepare them for whatever lies ahead.
Our Commitment:
Instill Confidence- Maranatha is committed to offering programs of EXCELLENCE that instill confidence in our students. Dance meets imperative needs for social-emotional skills, mental well-being, and physical health and provides quality friendships and role models.
Inspire Character- Maranatha is committed to challenging, teaching, and equipping students in a manner that inspires character and encourages passion. Dance has lasting value because dance lessons are LIFE LESSONS. Through dance, students have opportunities to learn perseverance, humility, discipline, respect, and courage, among other virtues. Our teachers also provide an environment for in-class discipleship and training in God’s Word.
Impact Community- Maranatha is committed to meaningful relationships among our students, teachers, and parents. At Maranatha, dance becomes a FAMILY and the studio becomes a second HOME for kids during their developmental years. We desire to impact our community through outreach, service and sharing the love of Jesus.
We are committed to More Than Just Great Dancing.
Our Basis of Faith:
Though students and families are not required to share our faith, our basis of faith means that we:
- Freely talk about our faith in the studio and share about the hope we have in Christ.
- Pray before classes begin and lift up the needs of a student in prayer when appropriate.
- Seek to be positive role models by demonstrating things like integrity, honesty, respectfulness, positive work ethic, patience, kindness, and joy on a daily basis.
- Choose tasteful, modest costumes and use carefully selected music, steering clear of things like inappropriate language and suggestive lyrics in order to maintain a wholesome, positive environment.
- Encourage students to use their art form as a way to create meaningful experiences with others.
Our facility has been fully remodeled and features four dance classrooms with custom raised flooring designed to minimize the impact on a dancer’s body. Each of our four dance spaces is unique to allow for different sizes and levels of classes. In each room, we have installed a video monitor and/or viewing window so parents can watch their children in action! Each room is also equipped with floor-length mirrors, ballet barres, and professional equipment to aid in the instruction of each class.
Our Center for the Arts is a space specially designed for music programs! This fully equipped studio now features Five Yamaha Portable Grand Pianos.
Business Review
"We are so happy we found Maranatha! From the teachers to the owners to the class sizes and selection of music, we love it all! One of the aspects I find most impressive, is the recitals! The recitals are held at a smaller facility where each seat provides ample opportunity to see the stage. There are also 2 huge screens that you can watch if you so choose. There is no such thing as a nosebleed section. So there is no need to fight for seating or to arrive 2 hours early so that you can "save good seats." Every seat is a good seat! Also, the recitals are broken up into groups so that you are not sitting through a 4 hour long recital when your dancer may only be in one 3 minute dance. I could go on and on, I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this amazing studio :)"

"My wife and I couldn't be happier with Maranatha. Our daughter has been dancing ballet with them for three years and she loves it! The staff and instructors are caring and kind and make us feel like family. Our daughter was very shy but they've built her confidence and helped remove her fears in a warm, no pressure environment. We're proud to be a part of this dance school."

"We commute from Fort Myers to Cape Coral just because we love the atmosphere and attitude of the staff at Maranatha! My daughter JUMPS with JOY when she finds out we are headed to Maranatha for another dance class. The classes they offer range for all ages and abilities and desires. I can't wait to see where we can continue to plug our daughter in."
