FasterIdeas.com founder and editor Joanne Oatts talks to Ruben Delgado, Creative Strategist & Choreographer
Ruben is a New York-based senior brand and communications expert with a background in dance and choreography - two areas of expertise that seem unconnected. But as Ruben explains, they're anything but.
We explore his dance training, his pursuit of the NY street dance style Litefeet, and how this evolved into his fascination with breaking down movement and using dance as a research tool.
