Both Jason and Dominique have been gold medalists at the Canadian Swing Championships, and they've been seen on a number of podiums across North America, most recently taking a silver medal together at CSC 2007. As coaches of the Quebec City Balboa Team, they share a passion for Balboa and a desire to spread the dance.
