Shortly after starting, guest teacher and later mentor, Barbara Delgado offered David a full scholarship at New Image Dance Company, a local dance studio, where he began his formal training and competing in modern/contemporary, jazz, and hip hop. His Senior year of high school he transferred to a magnet program at Coral Reef Senior High after realizing that he wanted to dance as a profession focusing on contemporary and primarily on hip hop. At age 18 he attended an arts college, New World School of the Arts, where he fcocused on Ballet and modern techniques such as Horton and Graham.

Nicknamed “Jimmers,” he began getting into the world of dancing at the age of 12, and trained at the Dance Gallery studio. Jimmy studied ballet, hip-hop, tap dancing, jazz, and lyrical styles. Nowadays he calls his style and techniques a mix of lyrical and contemporary dance. His favorite professional dancer is Brian Friedman, and he says his most memorable dancing experience was going through all the different styles. Aside from dancing, he’s also an athlete who practices sports such as swimming and track and field. He jokingly notes that no one else in his family dances professionally, because “They don’t have rhythm.” Jimmy says he has performed in a number of public functions and events as a dancer, and he hoped to be one of the top ten finalists on the show. He also plans to be a professional dancer and be on tour with a dance company within the next ten years. He was eliminated from the show on June 21, 2007 along with fellow contestant Faina Savich.

Ashlee classifies her dance style as contemporary, and says that her favorite professional dancer is Mia Michaels. Apart from dancing, she also enjoys working out and reading. No one else in her family dances professionally, and she has yet to perform in any public functions or musical theater productions as a dancer. She also wishes for bigger career opportunities to meet her ambitions after the show, and plans to both work as a teacher and choreographer while traveling abroad within the next ten years. Ashlee says that her most memorable dance experience was performing as a Kilgore College Sophomore Rangerette during their homecoming halftime in 2006.
