Hi Dance and Fitness lovers,

My name is Marina Theobald (Pawley). I come from Russia but currently live and work in Spain. Dancing is my greatest passion.

I started dancing at the age of three and never stopped since then. I lived in the dance class learning the graceful ballet moves, modern and folk dances.

I used to live in St Petersburg and attend the magnificent balls there. The elegant historic dances inspired me to start teaching them in Spain as well. I teach couples Scottish dances and Jane Austin time historic dances.

FitSteps programme was the greatest discovery for me as it combines the beautiful ballroom and Latin moves with the fitness. I was trained by Strictly professional Ian Waite and became an award-winning instructor of Europe for last five years including winning the instructor of the year in 2020! FitSteps Costa Blanca crew also won FitSteps dance competition three times and performed on the stage in Blackpool Tower Ballroom.

I absolutely love variety and enjoy teaching different dance programs including Broadway Boogie (High intensity) and Broadway Boogie Encore (Low intensity) based on songs from the musicals and screen. These programs will let you feel that you are a star of Broadway production.

Dance fitness gives you a fantastic cardio workout and it is an effective way to lose weight. To tone the body, you can join our fun Zumba toning classes with weights and Pound-drum inspired Rock workout with the elements of yoga and Pilates.

I adore dance fitness and look forward to sharing my passion for it with you!
