Marcelo Marianoff

Marcelo Marianoff

Marcelo was born in Cordoba, Argentina.

From an early age he expressed a great interest in Israeli Dance. In 2000 he joined the staff of Israeli dance tutors at Macabi Noar Cordoba and the professional Israeli Dance group "Sinaptzia". That was what triggered his successful career as a tutor, choreographer and organizer of camps, workshops and festivals. In 2001 Marcelo auditioned for the Horacio Hasper Foundation and was chosen to be the only representative of Argentina at the Karmiel Festival in Israel. During the following two years he divided his time between teaching at Macabi Noar Social Club, teaching dance at Cordoba's Jewish school and attending many seminars and camps across Argentina, while presenting performance troupes of kids, teenagers and adults dancing his original choreographies. He was also involved in the organization of several Leatid Festivals (Cordoba's annual Rikudei-Am festival).

In 2003 Marcelo was hired by the Jewish community of Lima, Peru to organize, teach and choreograph Israeli dance to groups of all ages in that city. Since then, Marcelo has traveled around Latin America attending camps and presenting his groups.
