Name: Jose Marino
Owner, Manager, and Instructor
Dancing Career: Over 28 years
Teaching Career: Over 28 years     José started teaching part-time while he was going to school at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, in the early ’80’s. As he got his degree in Business and Aviation Management, little did he realize that life would be taking him into a full-time management position as the Owner of, eventually, his own Dance Studio.  Here, he adds a little bit of  ’spice’  to everyone he works with, and he takes great pride in helping the Marino Students to achieve and even surpass their goals.

Name: Cindie Marino
Owner and Instructor
Dancing Career: Over 28 years
Teaching Career:  Cindie was trained and began teaching at Arthur Murray’s, Orlando, under Richard and Marina Wilbur in January, 1982.  She has taught some of the same students for over 20 years, and has a great love for passing on the excitement of dancing to as many people as possible, while keeping it fun, easy and as stress-free as possible.
Cindie and her husband, Jose, competed professionally in the late ’80’s and early ’90’s when they then started their family, and went on to a more ‘exciting’  phase in their life.  Their kids-Anthony, now 20, and Selena, 13, have grown up with the Studio as a big part of their family.
José and Cindie took over ownership of the Studio in March of 2003, where they changed the name to the now known Marino/TC Dance Club.
