Colacino was best known for his dynamic West Coast Swing competition performances with longtime partner, Katie Boyle.

This immensely talented and truly unique couple have a simple dance style, with a lot of focus on the lower body. Jason’s footwork was terrific, and the man also had some incomparable spins and split drops.

These two make dancing seem easy, and their constant gliding movements and poise make us want to bust a move as well!

Jason began his career in country line dancing when he was a teenager. He went on to master swing, salsa, Argentine tango, jazz, ballet and ballroom dancing. The hard work was awarded by winning a US Open Swing title and three World Cabaret titles. Unfortunately, Jason Colacino sadly passed away unexpectedly at home in New York City on August 9, 2009.

After Jason’s passing, Katie went on to become a registered nurse.

The couple competed together for many years.

Jason’s death must have been really hard on Katie, because it’s difficult to find out information about her most recent whereabouts. As we’ve expected, she gave up on the dancing profession. There is some information on her random appearances in public, but no one knows exactly what she’s up to today. Whatever she’s dedicated her life to, we truly hope that Katie found happiness.

One positive thing is that the world is left with many videos of them dancing together, and here you can see them dancing salsa like there’s no tomorrow.

They ooze self-confidence, and it’s obvious they’re in really good shape. We love the way their bodies connect to the music so easily, and you can see every tone in their moves. Their dance is like a continuous live illustration of the music you’re hearing. The beautiful, soothing song they dance to is “Imagine This” by Mike James. The crowd is definitely feeling their style!

The whole time, they move with spectacular grace and fluidity.

Both look so sensual with their movements, and their routine will make you fall in love with dancing.

We can easily say that these are the two of the best that ever hit a dance floor! They look magical together, with all their quick and precise movements. The audience has a genuine reaction to such an awesome dancing partnership, and you can hear them cheering in the background. We hope that videos like this can serve as a constant reminder of all the great artists who were lost way too early. Whether it’s artists, musicians, dancers, singers or entertainers of any kind, all of them have a special way of touching people’s hearts. Because of that, we want to remember them the way they lived—happy and creative.
