Building upon their extensive and professionally diverse dance careers with over a decade of experience including Modern, Contemporary, Musical Theatre and Latin; in 2004, both found themselves increasingly drawn towards the intoxicatingly beautiful Argentine Tango. Possessing a mix of Modern and Classic style and known for their razor sharp technique as well as their earthy and expressive performance style, they draw in audiences with their storytelling choreographies as well as their dynamic improvisational skills; rapidly becoming one of the top couples teaching, performing and choreographing throughout the country.

Because Tango is known to be one the most intriguing and challenging dance genres in the world, J&C believe in providing a simple, clear and straightforward approach to this enigmatic dance. They focus on movement at its most basic level, creating a strong technical foundation while developing body awareness, muscle memory, alignment, pliability and power as well as placing strong emphasis on improvisation, technique and etiquette for the social dance floor.
