Front Desk Staff
Marsha has been a part of the 24/7 family for 13 years in many capacities. She is married with 2 boys, which the oldest is an alumni of 24/7 Dance Studio, and a dog. She was born and raised in The Netherlands where she started gymnastics at age 7. She was a competitive gymnast for 10 years and rhythmic gymnast for 5 years. She started coaching at 16 and developed a love for working with and mentoring kids. After moving to the USA, she left the sport for a little while to get settled in her new life. Missing gymnastics and working with kids, she started coaching again at Island Gymnastics in Savannah, GA. There she taught preschool, boys' classes, cheer tumbling, pre-competitive teams (age 4-6) and competitive teams (age 5-15) for 5 years. In 2004 she moved to Frederick, MD and started to raise her 2 sons with her husband. Life took over but her passion for working with kids continued. She volunteered in the schools, was involved in school plays, served on the PTA board for several terms and started teaching drawing classes with Young Rembrandts, which she has been a proud owner of for the past 7 years.
Marsha just retired from teaching gymnastics at 24/7 Dance Studio, after 10 years, but still loves her dance family and can be found at the front desk, where she enjoys her time with co-workers, students and parents. In her opinion, the arts shape and prepare the minds and bodies of kids and teach a strong foundation for growth, in all aspects of their lives.
