Salise Marin Children & Teens Bio

Salise Marin, a native New Yorker, began her artistic career as a competitive figure skater at the age of 12. Throughout the years her coaches suggested Salise try dance classes because it would help her both stylistically and technically on the ice. After taking her first hip hop class at Broadway Dance Center at the age of 16 she realized she had found her new passion. Salise started training to become a professional dancer, taking classes in all different genres; Hip-Hop, Musical Theatre, Jazz, Contemporary, and Lyrical.

Salise has had the pleasure of assisting Broadway Dance Center's Lane Napper and Lizz Picini, as well as Broadway Dance Center's Children and Teen Program faculty members Chris Palacio, J Lyn, Vanessa Karali, and Ashely Stafford. Along with assisting, Salise's performance credits include: back up dancer and Actress for Nickelodeon's Henry Danger/Game Shakers and back up dancer for the Legendary Aretha Franklin.

Along her journey Salise has also found a great passion for teaching and choreographing. Salise's teaching style is all about positive re-enforcement and creating a good environment to learn, share, and grow. She wants her students to embody their alter egos and to commit to 'going for it' unapologetically. Salise wants to create an environment where kids can dance, act, and sing freely without any fear. Every class with Salise begins with these words: "I welcome what you bring, without judgement"
