Today we’d like to introduce you to Marley Lubin.
Hi Marley, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstories.
Hi! My name is Marley Lubin. I’m 28 years old and an Orlando native.
I am a dancer, choreographer, teacher, creative director, and entrepreneur. I am an all-around talented artist from Orlando FL, leaving my mark and making a positive difference wherever I go.
I received my training as a dancer at Nulook School of The Performing Arts, where I later began my teaching career at the youthful age of 15. It was my upbringing, coupled with my experiences at Nulook which primarily contributed to me being so passionately driven and dedicated to my artistic creativity.
I have had the pleasure of performing in FL, NY, and extensively outside the US. I have showcased my talent for musical acts such as Teyana Taylor and Future, Fortune500 companies such as Verizon Wireless, TV series such as AppleTV’s ‘Dickinson’, and much more. I have also been blessed with opportunities to train elite dancers and choreograph for major events.
Being so in love and committed to dance, I understood the importance of taking care of my health, as my mind and body are the instruments of my craft and my life. It was that understanding which lead me to transition to a plant-based lifestyle and to become the founder and owner of a vegan food company called AND IT’S VEGAN LLC.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle not only allows me to continue to pursue my career in dance, but it has also awakened me to another level of skill that has been lying dormant within. My journey as a vegan led to me discovering my ability to create recipes for delicious, mouth-savoring meals made entirely with mother nature’s gems.
The fulfillment and health benefits of the dishes I create and the gratification I get from the creative process are what inspired me to start this business. Those things continue to inspire me to this day. I want to enlighten and encourage those considering and embracing this way of life. What better way to do so than by giving them access to a company that recreates authentic plant-based versions of the meals we already love and enjoy. All of our favorites … AND IT’S VEGAN!
I am thankful for where my God-given talents and abilities have led me thus far. As I continue to dance, create, and build AND IT’S VEGAN LLC, I look forward to where it will take me and the positive impact it will have on humanity.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
Throughout my journey as an artist, I’ve struggled with maintaining a healthy work-life balance, as well as with maintaining the faith necessary to ‘trust the process’. Fear has a way of creeping in at times, which causes me to struggle. But my primary struggle is making time for friends and leisure activities. Being so goal-oriented and ambitious often takes me away from doing other things. But I find peace in recognizing that realizing said balance is a learning process.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I’m an artist. I create. I direct. I dance, choreograph, and teach various styles of dance. Through dance, I help others understand and develop a deeper connection to their bodies and to music. It also allows me to express my truest and most vulnerable self from the depths of my soul. It is an art form that facilitates me embracing my greatness. Dance nurtures heals and is therapeutic for me. Which is what I offer to others through my teaching and choreography.
I’m known for my brilliance. Being a source of inspiration, positively impacting others, and assisting in improving humanity is my specialty and way of life. Accomplishing things for myself and showcasing my work is very fulfilling. However, some of my proudest moments have been instances where I am able to help transform others into better versions of themselves. I believe it is what I do with my gifts and talents that makes me proud and sets me apart from others.
How can people work with you, collaborate with you, or support you?
With regards to dance, you can support me by doing any of the following; attend a class I am teaching, hire me to teach, choreograph, perform or act as creative director, and, lastly, share my work on social media platforms and refer me to those whom you are aware of that are in need of professional performers. As for my vegan food company AND IT’S VEGAN LLC, you can show support by booking me for catering services, attending AND ITS VEGAN events, and referring my company to cater gatherings, parties, and events.
