Elizabeth Marlin grew up in eastern Pennsylvania, where she trained in her high school years under Trinette Singleton and Jennifer Haltzman Tracy. She attended summer programs at Pennsylvania Ballet, Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, and American Ballet Theatre throughout high school. After graduating, she moved to Salt Lake City to dance as a trainee with Ballet West. While there, Marlin had the opportunities to perform roles alongside the company in Giselle, Swan Lake, and The Nutcracker, as well as the principal roles in Lark Ascending, Viva Vivaldi, and Scherzo from Balanchine's Midsummer Night's Dream. She has also guested in productions of The Nutcracker from Burley, Idaho to Fairbanks, Alaska. Marlin joined Ballet 5:8 in 2020, and performed the principal pas de deux in Julianna Rubio Slager’s Golden Sessions, as well as roles in Slager’s Reckless, Dry Bones, and Of Splendors & Horrors.
RDT is thrilled to bring you Lehigh Valley Magazine’s feature article on former RDT dancer, and now, New York City Ballet dancer, Cainan Weber.  Cainan began studying dance with Repertory Ballet Academy when he was five years old.  His talent and stage presence was quickly recognized during in his first RDT Nutcracker as a party child. Over the next 11 years, RDT audiences were captivated by Cainan’s extraordinary abilities.  He went on to receive a scholarship at the nationally acclaimed School of American Ballet ( as well as many other national training schools). Two years later he was offered an apprenticeship with NYCB and has already danced in soloist roles.  RDT is incredibly proud of Cainan and wishes him continued success. ​​​​​
