Marcus Merasty is a Nehiyaw/Cree dance artist from Pelican Narrows, Saskatchewan. His experience in dance began with traditional Métis dance. In 2014, after working with artists Robin Poitras and Edward Poitras, he decided to pursue a career as a dance artist. Marcus trained in the Professional Program of The School of Contemporary Dancers, graduating in 2021. 

He participated in two Indigenous dance residencies at The Banff Centre for the Arts (2016, 2019) and has worked with Vancouver-based dance artist Jennifer Mascall as a research assistant for her latest work, The Impossible has Already Happened (2021). Recently, Marcus performed a solo co-created by Robin and Edward in the Stream of Dance Festival (2023). He regularly teaches jigging and square-dancing as he believes social and cultural dance forms are an integral part of building a vibrant community.
