Marie trained mostly in ballroom, and was able to dance, tour, and compete on the ballroom companies at both BYU and UVU. Even though she is not trained in modern dance, Marie has loved being a part of Atlas. She has loved getting to know and engage more in the freedom and creativity of modern movement,  and she also loves the welcoming, inclusive, and creative environment Atlas fosters. This is Marie's second year dancing as an apprentice on Atlas.
