An Interview with Dancer Mari Madrid | MariletteSanchez.com
/By Marilette Sanchez
Keone and Mari Madrid are a married dance duo who have reached millions around the world through their YouTube videos. Most recently, they released a dance video for Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself" as part of his "Purpose: The Movement" short film (released on Bieber's own VEVO channel).
The "Love Yourself" video has been viewed 35,000,000+ times. You might have also seen them teaching workshops, So You Think You Can Dance, X-Factor, Dancing with the Stars, the Ellen Show, Good Morning America, and much more.
I was honored to interview Mari, who is a strong woman of God with a beautiful heart. She has a passionate desire to use her craft to create beauty and draw others to God.
I asked Mari:
How and when did you decide to make dance your career?
How did you meet your husband Keone?
How did you meet God and become a Christian?
How do you get inspiration for her choreography?
How do you balance being a Christian who is vocal (but not pushy) in an industry that does not always accept Christians?
How do you draws lines as a woman when moves become too sexual?
What are the pros and cons of having a husband who shares the same dance career?
