Jo & John Kinser

 

It will be their first visit

at a Line Dance Event in Austria!

We are very proud to be allowed to welcome

Jo & John

here!

 

Jo & John currently live in Cambridge, UK, and together they enjoy dancing and travelling to many events, teaching and choreographing. They continue to teach weekly classes in Line dancing at all levels including technique (which their knowledge has grown from being NTA member), further they are teaching Zumba and West Coast Swing.

Jo has her own business of over 15 years, a career as a Massage and Sports Therapist in Cambridge, UK, specializing in Advanced Remedial treatments, Chinese Cupping, and Holistic treatments, as well as teaching high school graduates, which sometime limits her opportunity to dance and travel as much as she would like. Before owning her own business, Jo had a career in Advertising and Graphic Design, and a Teaching degree. She taught for over 8 years at college graduate level in Design and Advertising.

John was a Crew Chief in the US Airforce for 26 years. Then built prototype aircraft for 4 years. Now he is working for Thorlabs a Photonics company as a supervisor in warehouse and shipping.

Jo started line dancing in 1990 as a hobby in the UK and then went on to competing with UCWDC throughout Europe and the USA 1996-99.

Jo and John are both NTA trained in Fundamentals, Line Dance and Couples, the Line Dance Sport Federation, UCWDC Judges Training Seminars.

With her love and compassion of line dancing in 1999 Jo then went on to choreographing with her husband John Kinser (American) when they lived in the USA from 1999-2005.

This gave her the opportunity to attend many American Line Dance and Couples Events and take their hand to choreographing. These dances gave them the opportunity to teach at many Dance Events in the USA, Europe and Asia.
