Ballet Dancer & Teacher
About Me
Hello everyone, my name is Marissa Doke and I am a professional ballet dancer and teacher. I am 19 years old living in Des Moines, Iowa as a trainee with Ballet Des Moines. I danced in Seattle with International Ballet Academy for 11 years, then moved to Arizona where I danced at Master Ballet Academy for the last 3 years. This website has my tiktok series Ballet Basics linked in the main menu. There is also a link to book private lessons with me, either over zoom or in person depending on the location. I started teaching recently and have found it to be a great experience that I hope others can benefit from.
