Mark Negron

About Mark

Mark Negron was raised in Somerset (Franklin Township), New Jersey, and focused on sports such as soccer and basketball, and his education. Although Mark liked dancing as a child, he was not able to take dance lessons in school because he was stereotyped. Mark began dancing professionally at the age of 25. Mark returned to school to continue his Exercise Science degree. He decided to take a dance course because it seemed fun yet challenging.

The dance program at Raritan Valley Community College encouraged Mark to become a dancer and choreographer because it helped him express emotions through dance movements that give powerful meaning to the audience. He now works hard with Loretta Fois, Marissa Aucoin, Lauren Beirne, and Kathleen Amalfitano in technique classes. Mark took classes such as Modern, Ballet, Choreography, Ensemble, Eurhythmics, Dance History, and Dance Improvisation courses from Raritan Valley Community College. He was a member of the Raritan Valley Dance Ensemble, touring local K-8 schools and senior centers. Mark's performance experience includes dancing in the RVCC student concerts. His interest in dancing is evident in his strong and powerful movements. He teaches friends and relatives how to put rhythm in dance giving them positive energy. Mark will be graduating from Raritan Valley Community College and will receive his AFA dance degree in spring 2023. After Mark graduates from RVCC, he plans to attend Rutgers University to continue his education in The Mason Gross Dance Program in New Brunswick, NJ. He hopes to complete his education and be able to open a dance studio and be a choreographer.
