Michael Bondo, “Magic Mike”, was born in Zimbabwe, and raised in Kenya Nairobi. He began dancing at the young age of five when he fell in love with the art of dance. Early in his life, Magic Mike danced locally, engaging in dances related to the native Kenyan culture. After completing high school, Magic Mike began competing in local street freestyle competitions, which jump-started his career in dance. He used dance as a way to earn money to help support his family following the loss of his father at an early age. As he grew, Magic Mike began to explore other forms of dance and became interested in many forms of dance including social dances such as Salsa, Bachata, Semba and Kizomba. Magic Mike is mostly self-taught, but was instructed by a friend from Cuba in both Salsa and Bachata. His love of dance and personal creativity inspired him to seek out and learn other dances such as Argentine Tango, which he initially learned from watching DVDs. Magic Mike had the opportunity to attend the Escuela de Tango in Argentina, where he learned the proper form and technique for Argentine Tango.

Hello my name is Marley. I was born in U.S. Raised in the sunny state of Arizona. I first got involved in dancing 1 year ago. just some salsa classes at my local college with Sam Fisher. Although I enjoyed it, I became very interested in Kizomba and urbankiz about a year ago. I have been taught by Magic Mike &Jenny . Who have been nothing but phenomenal instructors. I highly recommend them and admire their work ethic. They have taught me almost everything I know about Kizomba and I hope to continue to grow and learn from them. In 2016 I joined a Latin dance team "Alma Latina" I performed a bachata routine. So in conclusion I have learned bachata, salsa and currently still learning Kizomba dance. My goals are to be a growing dancer and always be learning new technique, body isolation and to be more involved in the urbankiz/Kizomba community. My achievements in dance would be to get rid of my stage fright!
