Jason
Hi, Jason here! My dance journey started a little differently than most. When a close friend suggested I try Salsa, I laughed it off and said, "No way!" Everything changed, though, when I stumbled into a Cuban Salsa club at university. What began as a hesitant, clumsy, out-of-my-comfort-zone experience quickly became a full-blown passion. Before long, I was hooked on Salsa, Bachata, and Kizomba. Dancing until dawn, driving hours for socials, and even stepping into small teaching and performing roles I never imagined I'd try. As I moved to different cities and traveled internationally, I connected with incredible dancers from many vibrant dance communities and built friendships that have lasted well beyond the dance floor. I discovered just how welcoming and supportive the global dance community is. But figuring out what socials, workshops, or festivals were happening nearby was always a challenge, and I often found myself scrambling to get the details or just missing out altogether. Sound familiar? That's how WeDance was born. Matt and I both felt the same frustration and saw the same need for a solution. Together, we envisioned Step: a platform to simplify the chaos and make it easier for dancers, organizers, and talent to connect and collaborate. Thanks for being here and joining us on this journey! Together, we're building a stronger, more connected global dance community, one step at a time. See you on Step and (hopefully!) on the dance floor soon!
