We are beyond thrilled to celebrate Marco Mejia’s 5th year as a valued instructor and resident choreographer at Dance Lab OC! A Los Angeles native and UCLA Dance alumnus, Marco brings an incredible depth of technical knowledge, artistic versatility, and commercial experience to our studio faculty.

​

Trained across a wide range of disciplines including Contemporary, Jazz, Ballet, Hip Hop, and Acrobatics, Marco uses movement to inspire, educate, and empower dancers of all ages. Over the course of his career, he has served as a guest master instructor and/or choreographer for Millennium Dance Complex Orange County, Conventions, Colleges, High Schools, and Studios nationwide.  Mejia has also served as a pro-assistant for Dance Masters of America and a resident instructor at Adage Dance Center. Marco has also choreographed for American Idol Finalist La’Porsha Renae and NICArt’s “The Story of Nowruz.”

​

Throughout his artistic journey, Marco has collaborated with and learned from some of the industry's most influential names, including Erica Klein, Criscilla Anderson, Frankie Grande, Sophia Lucia, Hannah Gallagher, and Keaton Kermode. His background in both performance and high-level training allows him to bridge the gap between foundational technique and cutting-edge contemporary performance. 

​

As a choreographer, Marco’s work consistently sets the standard on the national stage. His pieces with Dance Lab have earned widespread acclaim, including top honors across the competitive circuit. His 2026 "The Garden" routine captured 1st Place National Championships at the highest Elite level, Senior Large Groups, while his Elite Teen Duo achieved a clean sweep at every single competition it attended, culminating in a National title.

​

Beyond the trophies and accolades, Marco’s true passion lies in mentoring young dancers, fostering their confidence, and helping them realize their full potential both inside and outside the studio. We are honored to have his talent, energy, and dedication at Dance Lab OC for another fantastic year!
