I’ve known our next guest since he shook the world with his appearance on so you think you can dance back in 2012. A member of the Dragon House Crew, Cyrus “Glitch” Spencer has definitely made his mark. Since then he has continued making noise in the dance scene and inspiring various robots and animators around the globe. In this conversation,  Cyrus talks about the importance of individuality, the trap in setting invisible barriers for yourself, why he considers dance his meditation, and what the phrase “If it’s your passion, do something about it” means to him. So many gems to be scooped in this in depth look at the man behind the android. Press play.

It’s almost been a decade since I’ve known Comfort Fedoke. Over those years I’ve watched her develop into the star that I knew she would be. She’s battled. She’s judged battles. She was handpicked to dance on stage by the legendary Missy Elliott. You’ve seen her on the big and small screen AND WITH ALL OF THAT, she still remains a student. In this interview, Comfort talks about her background coming from Dallas, Texas. How she keeps the philosophy of Trusting The Process at the foremost in her mind while navigating the world of show business. And how the show So You Think You Can Dance changed her life. So many gems upon gems. Press play!!!

I couldn’t be more proud of Jon Boogz. I met him in a circle way back when and he’s not only making noise in the Street scene, but also sharing his gifts around the globe in many different facets.

These days it’s kind of impossible to talk about the robot/animation/bopping without Madd Chadd’s name thrown in the conversation. He is one of the foremost what I call “robotic artists”, out in the world. A southern California native, Chadd has paid his dues and continues to be an important figure in the street dance culture. We spoke on the first time he saw the robot and his natural curiosity for it. We spoke about his path from the street scene to the industry. And all the while keeping the common thread of the importance of spending the time to hone your craft. Press play.

This week I sat down with my long time friend Lando Wilkins. I’ve been watching the homie make his mark in the scene for over 10 years now. In this Interview we touch in the various aspects of his creative prowess—Toy design, Video making process, life in a reality dance competition, teaching and battling overseas, how he uses his humor in his choreography, and what tools he thinks the new generation can use to exercise individualism.

There are some people that say they grew up in the industry, but Galen Hooks ACTUALLY grew up working in the industry. Pulling in experiences starting when she was only 7 years old, Galen and I sat down and talked about everything from self discipline, class etiquette, teacher/student responsibilities in the classroom, working with her icons, her work as an activist, and the state of the dance game now. My hope is that everyone who watches/listens to this is inspired. Inspired to act. Inspired to start. Inspired to persevere.
