Mrs. Marie
After much prayer and encouragement from family and friends, Mrs. Marie opened Re's Studio of Dance in July of 1984 with 34 dancers in the small blue building next door. As we grew, this new facility was opened in September 2006. Mrs. Marie began dancing at age 12 training in Tap, Ballet, Jazz, Drill Team, Baton, and Poms. Later she added Clogging, Interpretive Movement, Lyrical, Pointe, and Hip-Hop. Mrs. Marie served as captain and co-captain of her high school and college drill teams and cheer squad. During college, Mrs. Marie was also a member of the Carolina Cowboys Cheerleaders from a semi-pro football team.
Mrs. Marie was inducted into the Professional Dance Teacher Organization in 1986, member of the Professional Clogging Leaders Association, named in Who's Who Among American Business Women, and Nation Association of Professional Women. Mrs. Marie is married to Eddie Coster and they have two children, Jake and Pressley who make their home in Woodruff.
