49: Dancer - Marlon Feliz

Dancer Marlon Feliz shares her financial journey as a freelance performer from touring, to cruises, to Broadway.

Marlon is based out of New York City. Born in Dominican Republic and raised in Miami, FL, she grew up dancing to the latin rhythms of Salsa, Merengue, and Bachata with her loving family.

She received her foundational training in classical ballet and modern techniques at New World School of the Arts, and went on to earn her B.F.A. in Dance from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and in 2020 made her Broadway debut in the new revival of West Side Story, featuring choreography by Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker.

She has worked with dance theater company Pilobolus since 2014, touring their Shadowland productions nationally and internationally. Spring of 2021 she is with the company once again to present Pilobolus repertory and programs wherever possible.

Currently Marlon is performing online in Speakeasy On Demand, presented by Holly-Anne Devlin of Kaleidoscope Entertainment. (Discount code below!)

Other credits include working with Broadway choreographers Warren Carlyle and Denis Jones on musical projects, and performing dance and aerial work on the high seas with Norwegian Creative Studios and Royal Caribbean Cruises.
