This episode continues the dance mini-series, where I sit down with friends who’ve had dance play a major role in their lives. In this episode, I talk with Derek about how he started questioning what truly brings him the most joy and eventually found his way back to dance. Since then, he’s been training alongside elite dancers working to break into the industry, and we talk about what that experience has been like, how he first got started dancing, and the growth that’s come from fully committing to it.

We also get into how dance was something he had always wanted to pursue, but for a long time felt intimidated by what other people might think. Now, he’s embraced the mindset that if there’s something he genuinely wants to do, he should do it anyway, regardless of outside opinions.I hope you enjoy this episode!
