She has worked as a dancer, actress, and choreographer for film, television, commercial, music video and concert works.

The Intimacies Project film was screened at Tribeca Grand in New York City during Fashion’s Night Out in 2011. The project earned a space grant from Chashama, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, The Fashion Center BID, and the Times Square Alliance to perform two shows per day in NYC for two weeks in 2009. Marinov Dance was commissioned to set work and perform at the Rio Grande Theatre in New Mexico in 2010. Marinov Dance performed in the Margulies Gallery in Miami for the Wynwood Art Festival in 2012. Her dancing and choreography can also be seen in Bill Hayward’s upcoming film Asphalt, Muscle and Bone. Marinov Dance has performed at New York Live Arts, John Jay College, Galapagos, CPR, Winter Garden in the World Financial Center and Bill Hayward’s studio.
Marinov Dance debuted Mother’s Kitchen a collaboration that includes portraits from Bill Hayward via Skype and live dance in Miami for the Art Live Fair in October 2012 and performed an excerpt of the same piece in Los Angeles the following week at the Electric Lodge Theater.
Marinov Dance premiered pavement woman in San Francisco and Los Angeles in 2013. Jordan was commissioned to create an original work for the students of Loyola Marymount University in fall 2014 and adjudicated a dance short film festival for the University of South Florida. Jordan recently completed two dance short films with Bill Hayward entitled Beauty Is No Show. Jordan recently choreographed a Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers inspired short film called Dream Of A Dance directed by Jolie Oliver. Jordan is currently working on choreography for two short films, is launching a major dance based fundraising campaign for Children’s Rescue Alliance and is planning M Dance’s tour to NYC for fall 2015.

"When [her impossibly long legs] are fully engaged, it seems that the tiny space will not contain them. Marinov is an especially compelling artist, with sharp features, raven hair, and lithe body...the dancing is energetic, at times bordering on violent. At times...expresses an animal tenderness."
