​Marilyn DeIorio grew up in Ocala, FL training both in Ocala and at Pofahl Studios in Gainesville, as well as summer intensives at various locales. With her long-limbed beautiful line, and technical strength she quickly moved into pre-professional training, and subsequently joined Dance Alive as a soloist in the fall of 2021. Ms. DeIorio has performed in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Lady Bug: Action Hero, and particularly loves classical roles such as Lilac Fairy from Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker. She has proven her skill in both neoclassical and contemporary works as well.
