We make a great couple because we’ve been through so much but are still happily married, best friends, & awesome swing dance partners!
We would like to thank you for supporting Joel & Jackie in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
Our love story began on the dance floor. We were just friends for a few years as Joel was traveling the globe teaching swing dancing. Jackie was back in San Diego. They realized one day that there was something more than just a friendship and started a romantic relationship in April of 2011. By 2012 they were teaching swing dance together and still do to this day!
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?One of our favorite memories has to be our engagement. Joel was running a huge swing dance event on Catalina Island for thousands of people. Our families just happened to be there as well. During the event on Saturday night, in front of a live big band, and surrounded by all of the dancers, Joel proposed to Jackie in the middle of the Casino Ballroom!
What would you do with $20,000?$20,000 would be so life changing for us! We just bought our first home last year so it would be amazing to get some stuff for our new house, pay off some debt, take our kiddos to Harry Potter World at Universal Studios, and then save the rest.
