Mattcrobat
This Trick Star is both an instructor and co-proprietor of Jasmine Dragons. His passion to share his experience-based knowledge - with all walks of life - is his greatest strength. Knowing that gravity plays favorites to those who practice, his philosophy is that nothing is impossible... at any age. To Matt, there are no limits in life. He jumps motorcycles hundreds of feet above ground, suspeneded in air so as to feel time stop. He learned to climb limbless trees in Costa Rica, and gained additional climbing tricks and strengths in the mountains of Colorado. You can find him teaching lessons (and performing) in Aerial Fabric, Dynamic Acro Pole, Beginners Poi, Kids Circus Camp and Kids Stilt-Walking. Matt also runs the retail end of Jasmine Dragons. And he happens to be the LUCKIEST of all the Dragons... he is father to the co creator and inspiration behind Jasmine Dragons, Luis Fernando.

Samantha Kuzmic Hip Hop
Samantha Kuzmic started out as a shy girl taking breakdancing classes at the Jasmine Dragons. After finally figuring out
how to freestyle, she became more outgoing and started taking the hip hop
classes that were offered. She would help out with the classes and then
went on to become the full-time instructor and a part of the Jasmine Dragons Hip
Hop Crew. She has been dancing break dancing for almost two years, hip hopping
for a year and a half, and she had previously taken six years of ballet. She
also has a great deal of teaching experience and hopes to become a teacher in
the future. She’s been student teaching at Maple Elementary for the past two
years and will start student teaching at Chardon High School this year. Wishing
she could stay and teach hip hop forever, it’s going to be hard for her to leave
for Bowling Green State University at the end of the summer. But she loves every
minute she gets to teach hip hop to others and dance with her best friends in
her crew.
