About Liezel Marie

Based in Las Vegas, and Los Angeles born and raised, Liezel Marie is a choreographer, dancer, professor, and director. Thriving in the dance world, she has appeared in music videos and various digital content, and she is also sponsored by brands across the city. Represented by Go2Talent Agency, her choreography and presence has graced the stages at Halloween Horror Nights, Universal Studios CityWalk, the Staples Center, Crypto.com Arena, World of Dance, Carnival Cruise Lines, Super Bowl, Palms Hotel, and Allegiant Stadium. She has worked with brands such as WNBA LA Sparks, NBA, Harlem Globetrotters, NFL, BET Experience, Nike, Disney, and more. 

Alongside the many live performances she has directed and choreographed for, her main passion is in dance education, spreading the positivity, light, and love of dance. She currently mentors and coaches students at UNLV, College of Southern Nevada, CSUN, Glendale Community College, LA Academy of Fine Arts, Interlochen Dance Academy, and many others. Her goal is to teach, educate, and inspire dancers, non-dancers, and artists all over the world by sharing her love of dance, choreography, and artistry.

I encourage students and teachers to grow together. Not only can I teach my students my passion and heart of dance but believe it or not, they teach me a lot more about myself to be a bigger and better version of me as an educator.

Choreographed and worked with Universal Studios Hollywood, Disney, SuperBowl, Carnival Cruise Lines, WNBA Los Angeles Sparks, LA Clippers, Nike, Harlem Globetrotters, My Name is Myeisha Movie/Documentary, Choreographers Carnival, and more.
