Jason A Colacino
Jason Anthony Colacino was the son of Diane Joyce Oliveira (born 1957) and Rick Colacino. He was born in San Leandro, California on August 20, 1977. He was a talented and respected professional who started his dance career in country line dancing when he was a teenager. He went on to master Swing, Salsa, Argentine Tango, Jazz, Ballet and Ballroom dancing. He is best known in his early career for his dynamic West Coast Swing competition performances with Gina Amato-Brown and longtime partner Katie Boyle. Jason earned a US Open Swing title and three World Cabaret titles.His success brought a huge demand for his skills, which allowed him to teach, choreograph, compete, perform and judge all over the world. Jason embraced life in New York City and had become a true New Yorker. Jason Colacino, 31, passed away unexpectedly at home in New York City on August 9, 2009. As said in the Jason A Colacino: Obituary, "His loss will also be mourned by his dance community family of Swing and Tango, who considered him to be one of the most gifted dancers ever to grace the hardwood." To read about Jason's career and a glowing review of his talents, see the 2022 article at Jason Colacino and Katie Boyle’s Honky Tonk Routine.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
