About Us
Who we are
Our mission is to support individuals as they progress within their dance and recovery journeys.
Our vision is to build independence and confidence in all individuals we work with and provide an inclusive, supportive environment for all.
Manta Dance and Physio is run by Marie Coggon, a qualified International Dance Teacher's Association ballet teacher and Health Care and Professions Council registered Physiotherapist.
Why Manta Dance and Physio?
After running a successful dance school for several years and qualifying as a Physiotherapist, Marie wished to combine both the dance lessons and Physiotherapy sessions into one business.
The name needed to reflect Marie's calm, holistic approach to dance teaching and Physiotherapy, hence the most calm creature in the sea was chosen; the Manta ray.
