Minn and Corina
Minn Vo and Corina Acosta's website. Just updated by Corina, I believe. Their diversity in talents will astound you. Not to mention Minn's cool as shit. (Not ragging on Corina, I just don't know her)
Doggin' Around
Jojo Jackson's personal website. Be sure to check out all the videos, especially the ones of Jojo! We're talking MAJOR eye candy here.
Untitled Website
Nick Williams's and Denise Phelan's website. They should really get a title, but I'm sure they're too busy dancing. At least they got their priorities straight! Pretty much only useful just for Nick's contact information- which is pointless because you really can't get a hold of him that way... catch him on the dance floor! Nick is one of the best teachers all around.
Non-Dance Websites
V-Day
Organization that fights against domestic violence, one I worked for and strongly support.
