At the age of 15, she set foot for the first time in a salsa/merengue

Jason
Jason
began taking salsa dance lessons (On 1) at a studio in New
York about four years ago. He stayed at this studio
for a little over a year, but after being impressed by some
mambo dancers he saw at a club, he left the studio and started
taking mambo lessons with Gabe Perez at a studio called
Dance On2. After 6 months there, he became an itinerant
mambo student—taking lessons with several mambo instructors.

Samantha
Samantha,
born and raised in North Carolina to a Chilean/Peruvian
family, has been dancing for as long as she can remember.
What started out as frantic shaking in her living room at
age 2 soon turned into 12 years of intensive training in
ballet, modern, and jazz. Samantha’s first foray
into partner dancing came at age 14 when she began training
as a Latin ballroom dancer with her father, a professional
instructor. After four years of intense competition
and daily practice, she gave up ballroom dance altogether
when she started attending The University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill and never expected to dance seriously again.
Then she found salsa and mambo.
