Let’s GO!DJ JUAN LOVE (he/him)Ever since he can remember, Juan Washington has loved all things music and dance. Juan grew up in California’s East Bay in the 1980’s, and at 4 years old he was watching his brothers breakdancing with the other neighborhood kids. He took up street tumbling at the age of 5, took martial arts classes in elementary school, became dedicated to breakdancing in high school, along with joining the cheer team, and studied: swing, hip-hop, jazz and capoeira.Juan started DJing while he was in the Air Forced stationed in North Dakota, where he DJed for mainstream dance clubs and weddings. After moving back to California, Juan took a break from DJing and immersed himself back into dance. He liked learning Salsa, Bachata, Cumbia, and Kizomba. In 2015, he found the Fusion Dance community and started DJing again in 2017. DJing is such an important part of Juan’s creative expression, he is always on the hunt for new music that will challenge and inspire the dancers. He’s not afraid to take risks or think outside the box. He enjoys blending EDM, Trap and culturally diverse World Music to keep everyone on their toes (pun intended)!Mark Sebastian (he/him)Marky originates from south central Pennsylvania. Following his father's advice to "always move your muscles" Mark moved to San Diego and at the age of 22 begin taking gymnastics classes at UCSD. Seeing the spark of contagious enthusiasm, officials soon asked Mark to begin teaching trampoline classes there. Ten years later Mark found his way to the bay area and began performing with a hip-hop dance crew. Now that he's older, Mark spends more time social dancing, rock climbing, doing handstands and playing pickle ball.Jonathan Devoto (they/them)Jonathan is an Oakland-based Personal Trainer, Joint Specialist, and Orthopedic Massage Therapist.
