Choreography
Marika has choreographed routines for European and World and Olympic level competition for almost 10 years. Former coach Betty Callaway was the first to recognise her creativity.
Widely acknowledged as one of Britain's most creative minds in ice dance choreography, Marika's grounding in Classical Ballet and study of contemporary dance has helped her to develop many successful competitive programmes and memorable exhibition routines.
If you need a new programme or want to develop your expressive skills for the new season, whether you're a dancer, free skater or pair, Marika is available for choreography.
Constantly seeking out challenges, Marika has choreographed routines for skaters of all levels and ages in ice dance, free style, pairs and synchro.

Also available, programme cleaning. Working on maximising your existing routines by improving body alignment, grace of arm and body movements and musicality. Programme cleaning not only sharpens presentation but also clarifies patterning allowing the routine to develop increased speed, flow and depth of edge with greater ease. Another benefit is the clarification of pace throughout a routine, allowing skaters to learn how to conserve vital energy for the routines finale. To demonstrate how this attention to detail can refine a performance below are two examples. These are styles of choreography and performance dynamic at opposite ends of the spectrum to show how much impact an artistry make-over can have. Anyone can learn a new interpretive style, and with a little Marika magic......the sky is the limit!
