David Castro & Jennifer Castro (Studio Owners)
David will deny any existence of any compilation DVD his parents claim to hold of him showing the progression of his dancing skills since early childhood. So we will say it started magically when David attended UTSA to begin his business studies and after three years decided to venture north to the wonderful state of Massachusetts. He began his dancing career with Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Worcester, Massachusetts. After three and a half years with the company he transferred back home to the great city of San Antonio to be with family, and immediately began work at the Arthur Murray in San Antonio. Working there he quickly met his professional dance partner Ms. Jennifer Cizmas and they began their professional competitive career together.
Jennie was born and raised in Troy, Michigan. She started dancing ballet and jazz at the age of 7. It wasn’t until college that Jennie was introduced to the wonderful world of ballroom dancing. It all started with Swing. She received a BA in elementary education with a major in music and biology. After college, she found a job teaching ballroom dance at Arthur Murray in Bloomfield Hills, MI. What better way to use her degree than teach the mechanics of movement to music? Three and a half years later Jennie moved to Arthur Murray San Antonio, where she met David. She worked for Arthur Murray for six more years before she and David moved on to open C & C Ballroom Dance.
After the closing of the Arthur Murray school in San Antonio, David and Jennie went out on their own and over the course of the next year through extremely hard work, dedication, and the most exceptional students in the entire world were able to save up enough money to open up the first C & C Ballroom Dance! Since the opening of C & C Ballroom Dance, they have won multiple Top Studio and Top Teacher trophies at competitions around the world!
Their mission is to help others, both amateur and professional, achieve their dreams and improve their lives through dance! And now, they are excited to have the joy of sharing their passion with their lovely 5 year old daughter and their new baby son!
