Meet your next celebrity dancer: Jaime Marco.

By day (and most nights), Jaime is an international keynote speaker, leadership coach, and creator of UnFunkt™ a movement built on small, intentional moves that spark big impact. Fitting, since she's about to bring those same moves to the dance floor.
Jaime has spent her career studying what makes people light up a curiosity that started onboard Royal Caribbean, where she learned everyone just wants to be seen, heard, and understood. She's carried that into boardrooms, ballrooms (well, almost), and stages across industries helping teams and leaders reconnect with what matters.
A yoga enthusiast, pickleball player, and proud supporter of the American Cancer Society, Jaime's ready to trade her keynote mic for some killer footwork all for a cause close to her heart.

Please welcome our next celebrity dancer for the Ballroom Blitz Gala: Dave "Koz" Kozlowski!
Best known as a legend on the tennis court, Koz is stepping onto the dance floor to show off some new moves for a great cause.
Dave "Koz" Kozlowski is one of the first seventeen Master RSPA (formerly USPTA) professionals in the world and the original coach of Carling Bassett (former #5 WTA) and Shawn Stafford (former top-50 WTA). As inaugural Director of Tennis at Laurel Oak Country Club in Sarasota, he worked alongside Monica Seles, the club's Touring Pro. Koz has trained over 150 Division-I college players, including his own three children, to national and international tournament success.
He was the executive producer/host of "Inside Tennis with the Koz," which aired for eight years on Sunshine Network, six years on Tennis Channel as an "Original Series," and on SNN and was the first American broadcaster to interview Hall of Famers Maria Sharapova and Andy Roddick. Named USPTA National Pro of the Year (2001) and USTA Broadcaster of the Year (1999), Koz has also been a published tennis writer since 1975.
