Marit began her career with Jorunn Kirkenærs children's ballet school and company and within a 10 year period performed both on television and on stage. She completed her education at the National Academy of the Arts in 1986. Marit began her professional career with a flurry of musicals, amongst them: "The Merry Widow (The National Theatre), "Sweet Charity" (Chateau Neuf), "Anything Goes" and "Pal Joey" (Oslo New Theatre), "The air is for everyone" (Chat Noir). Marits talent as a dancer, actress and singer led to her performing leading roles in musicals such as "Junglebook" (Bryggetheatre), "Dames at sea" (Fredrikstad) and "The Ragged Doll" (Centraltheatre, Rikstheatre and Norwegian television). In the same period Marit worked with a number of free groups and choreographers such as Gilbert Parsons, Kjersti Alveberg, Un-Magritt Nordseth, Torill Bernatek. Marits career took a new turn when she was offered a position of lead dancer with the group Dans and Toner, of which she is now the managing director.
