We sit down with Sakarias to reflect on his 30-year journey in the jazz community, from running the Chicago Swing Dance Studio to training with the Hot Shots. We discuss competitions, his approach to judging and performing, the influence of old clips, and the challenges he's encountered along the way. We also explore how the dance scene continues to evolve and Sakarias' experience playing in the Hornsgatan Ramblers band.
