Marilyn Mercado is a passionate teacher, coach, and guide whose life’s work bridges movement, mindfulness, and creative healing. A graduate of the University of Hawaii, Marilyn has spent over 15 years teaching Ballroom and Latin dancing, and enjoying Hula as a joyful expression of fitness and culture.

In recent years, Marilyn expanded her offerings to include Health and Life Coaching, earning certifications that allow her to guide people through challenges in health, career, relationships, and life purpose.
