​

     Mike Marszowski has danced ballroom since his freshman year of college at the University of Notre Dame, when a chance encounter landed him a lifelong hobby (and a go-to fun fact for literally every "tell us about yourself" ice-breaker since).

​

     Since then, he's been training and competing (and in recent years, coaching youth and collegiate ballroom dancers), and he was part of the first same-sex couple to ever compete for a national championship in the US with his partner, Luis Miranda (also an SMU coach).

​

     Outside of dance, Mike is a professional data and analytics nerd for an energy company, and fills his non-dance free time with cooking, learning new languages, and watching basically any MCU or Star Wars content available.

​

Luis Miranda is the Latin coach.

     Victoria Tatum began ballroom dancing her freshman year at UT Austin. She teaches physics at Nimitz High School. 

     Currently, she trains and competes in American Rhythm with her partner Anthony, and teaches bronze ballroom for the Dancesport Training Center’s Youth Program. 

     If she is not teaching or dancing Tori is probably cooking, reading, or watching anime.
