working on "Work that strut" featured film
Maryss was born and raised in Paris, France and lived for awhile in Naxos, Greece. She is half-French and half-Greek. She said she grew a love for dance after seeing Michael Jackson dance on television when she was younger. It drove her to travel the world and want to dance with the most greatest dancers. Her moniker "Maryss" was formed from Mary (English version of Marie) and "super star". She has an extensive resume in commercials, doing much advertisement with Sprite, Pepsi, Old Navy, JCPenny, and iPod. She has performed with numerous artists including Missy Elliott, Common, Kovas, and the Black Eyed Peas. She has toured with Billy Crawford, Chris Brown, and Justin Timberlake. She and Rino teach at Debbie Reynolds dance studio in Los Angeles, CA under the stage duo name The Geminiz. They appeared together as dancers in Common's music video.[4]
Freak The Dream:
Left my City (Paris, France) to move to LA, My dream was to work with Michael Jackson, which happened on paper :)

unfortunately he passed and Life didn't give me the time and the chance to work with him in person. But I am thankful that I "technically" freaked my dream and have many other Dreams to pursue: To see what you guys dreams are and what you're doing towards them is one of them :)
