Hi, Marlo here.

I've always been immersed in movement. I've studied dance for 30 years and taught for 18 (not counting the many full-cast dance productions crafted in my childhood living room).

I'm a graduate of the Virginia Governor's School for the Arts (as a modern dance major), and I have a degree in Anthropology and Public Relations from the University of Miami. Throughout my twenties, I lived in NYC and accumulated professional dance credits in movies, commercials, and TV. Simultaneously, I worked the fitness scene and seized every opportunity I could to learn about the human body.

I'm probably most known as a pole dance innovator. I started experimenting with the pole 13 years ago--before there were mainstream competitions. Pole confirmed that I have a knack for circular movement and that I love bringing lightheartedness and spark to activities people tend to take (very) seriously.

Flow Movement was born out of my desire to share the benefits of fluid, creative, dance-based movement with the world. Dance doesn't have to be complicated or intimidating, though it too often is. The Flow Movement approach invites all people to move with imagination, sensuality, and sensitivity and to become more comfortable being on and playing with the floor.

Thank you for exploring my site.
