We loved having you there - it was the only time during the evening that the audience gave the stage their FULL attention!...You must be my good luck charm, as we raised $180,000 that night for life-saving CF research. Unbelieveable!" Sarah Barsness, Fundraising Coordinator, Minn. Cystic Fibrosis Foundation "The couple's mesmerizing, seemingly incongruous act, which they perform versions of for wild west shows, circuses, cabarets and nightclubs nationwide, melds Tina's belly dancing with Robert's ballet of leather..."

Dante has cracked the whip on numerous TV shows, including Evening Magazine, Blind Date, Playboy TV's Night
Calls, KTLA's Morning News, The Eclectic Mind, Envy TV, HBO's Real Sex, Blitz,
Sin City, and others. Dante also has spoken about whip cracking on many radio
programs, from Texas to Australia. Dante is a long-time member of the Wild West Arts Club.
Dante first set the Guinness World Record for "Most bullwip cracks - minute" at
Dream Circus in Hollywood in September, 2003. He raised the bar to 214 cracks in one minute at the
Spirit of the West Festival in Sioux Falls, SD, one year later.
Dante has appeared at
circuses, at nightclubs, and on stages, and he has been featured in the Los Angeles Times,
Rex Features Syndicate, Minneapolis Star Tribune, Toronto Star, and many other publications.
"It's not the thrower that counts, it's the target."
Tina is a student of the aerial arts, as well, spending many hours a week hanging and swinging from trapezes and ropes. A multi-lingual globetrotter, Tina's gypsy-like, sultry good looks reflect her Hungarian heritage, and her facility and expressiveness in dancing continue her bloodline's involvement in professional dancing (her father was a dance instructor).
Tina is a whip cracker in her own right, taught by Dante himself, bringing her dance expertise to bear on the graceful whip-handling form which is the hallmark of the Dante style of whip cracking.
