Help us welcome Marcos to the CDE staff!

Marcos Roque, born and raised in El Salvador, began his ballet training at age 10 under the Royal Academy of Dance. He performed with the National Ballet Company of El Salvador from 2005 to 2014, taking on various roles in ensemble and soloist performances. At 13, he expanded his training into other styles and joined the National Contemporary Dance Company of El Salvador. This opportunity allowed him to learn from renowned teachers and choreographers from Latin America, Europe, and the US, while also performing and gaining experience in countries like Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, and Ecuador. At age 18, Marcos moved to New York City to train at Ballet Academy East, Steps On Broadway, Broadway Dance Center, and Peridance. He performed with the Metropolitan Ballet Repertory at Symphony Space and taught ballet and contemporary classes at the Bridge for Dance. In 2015, he relocated to Raleigh, North Carolina, pursuing a career as a dancer, teacher, and choreographer.
