Jack continues to this day to spread his passion for the dance and music to thousands throughout the world.

Zhen Zhen: Born in Henan, China was raised in a family of dancers, but wasn't introduced to salsa until living in Sweden nine years ago.

Soon after being introduced to Salsa she moved back to Beijing to live. After returning to Beijing Zhen Zhen continued dancing Salsa at the local Salsa Clubs. In 2004 Zhen Zhen met "Mambo" Jack at the Move Dancing Studio that they both worked at. Soon after the two became partners and began teaching together. In late December 2005 they formed their own dance company, the Phoenix Dance Company.

In the last two years Zhen Zhen has developed into the top female salsa dancer in China, and is recognized worldwide. She is known for her soft, but explosive lady's styling. She has taught and performed both in China and throughout the world. In 2005 Hong Kong Salsa Festival she was recognized for her contribution to Salsa.
