Martina has been involved with ballet and Jazz classes since she was 5 years old.  When she was 21 she got the opportunity to teach ballroom dance classes in Colorado Springs, CO.  Shortly after we moved to Sault Ste Marie in 2001 we started to teach 6 week ballroom classes at STARS and have hosted some free classes at the First Church of Christ.  Mike has been involved in percussion since he was 7 years old.  He has impeccable timing.  Mike currently is the drummer for an amazing Christian rock band (SeeKing Reverence) at New Beginning Church.  When Martina started teaching ballroom in Colorado she taught Mike how to dance.  We both were participants with Dancing with the Stars 2012, and we are so excited to be helping out 2 couples this year with their dance.
