He obtained Performing Arts as National Diploma at Oxford and Cherwell Valley College which has helped develop a wide spectrum of performance through incorporating the wider skills of performing arts, which he got from teachers on the course at Oxford and Cherwell Valley Collage.
It all started when Marcus found Capoeira in his life at the age of 14, and it wasn't just a martial arts that he found himself taking on; it was a life changing event that was more than just learning to fight and be able to attack It has Music, Singing, Acrobats, Self Defence builds confidence within a community. 'I started Capoeira in Oxford with my teacher Contre Mestre Negao He was the person who taught me discipline within the arts, and how much dedication it takes to be remotely good'. If you are interested in the group where Marcus begun his Capoeira journey visit http://www.abolicao.co.uk.
After training in Capoeira for 5 years Marcus begun to look into Break Dancing and found similarities between the two arts. Having Capoeira behind me certainly has a big influence on my style of teaching. I believe it is important to adapt to different styles of movement and to allow your body to become versatile using varied techniques and precision in dance. Marcus has worked with companies such as Street stage, and Twisted Elements.
Marcus now has around nine classes that he teaches publicly and privately he also does demonstrations and advertising shows in and around Oxfordshire using a variety of techniques used in popular forms of dance. Confidence and dedication is the key to a successful dance career, it's not just about hearing the music, and it's about feeling the music.
Antony Webb Aka Antman is 19 and from Oxford. ‘I only started breakdancing to keep fit but found myself taking on more than a hobby, now bboying is a huge part of who i am today. I have recently turned a bboy instructor after working apprentice with Marcus for the past few years. I started bboying at 14, from then on i have dedicated much of my time to the art. From this i found passion in tricking and free running to which I’m still passionate about and progressing in’.
