These are challenging times and we're all being challenged to find a new way to do things, to overcome, and to thrive. With that in mind we bring you someone who has done that his whole life - choreographer, dancer, director, Mr. JJ Villar. Drive and determination brought JJ to the big stage from Bogota, Columbia. He's the holder of two world championship Drum Corp titles, he's worked with Wayne Foster Entertainment (think Gloria Gaynor, Toni Braxton), the Millennium Dance Complex, the Michael Jackson "One" show and Cirque Du Soleil. But away from the bright lights JJ has overcome incredible hardship and through it all is one of the most positive people you could meet. We think it's the perfect time to shine some light in your life with our guest JJ Villar.
