Jack Johnson
Jack, late to the party, started dancing at the ripe old age of 13.
He quickly became enthralled by the Ballroom world and much to the distress of his parents, told them that at age 13, having danced for six months in kids classes and completed two medals exams, that he was prepared to leave high school and pursue the life of a professional dancer.
Joanne de Jager
A local gal’, born and bred in Perth; Joanne started competing in Ballroom competitions at age 10 and found great success early on, becoming an Australian Juvenile and Junior Champion.
Joanne was lucky enough to come from good Ballroom dancing stock, her Father previously worked as a Professional Ballroom Dancing teacher, and her parent’s previously owned and operated the Swan Ballroom in Midland – dancing is in her blood!
