Emily and Stefan began training in New York City and ultimately became incredibly serious and passionate about dance. They have danced semi-professionaly and professionally as well as taught under the companies of renowned schools such as Santo Rico Dance and Baila Society. Emily and Stefan have performed internationally, on T.V., and on stage live with salsa legends Richie Ray and Bobby Cruz.
