12-years-ago, the world was Luke Kooken's oyster. He dabbled in standup comedy, played poker at a high-level and his passion at the time was dancing. Salsa, tango, swing, breakdancing, and jazz all occupied any free time he did have when his college workload was not in the way of doing what he loved.
