In this episode, we sit down with four dancers from 220 (Second to None), an award-winning adult competition team based out of San Diego.  Guests Dylan Banares, Ranny Fernandez, Ryan Quilapio & David Dioso talk openly about being on 220, the culture of being on an adult competition team, forming long-lasting friendships, & dance career goals.  We talk about maintaining motivation, plagiarism vs. inspiration & laugh A LOT.  We dive deep into David Dioso’s massive vision for dance, discuss what junior teams are missing these days & confuse ourselves with Clout vs. Cloud.  The guys share first impressions of each other, try to describe each other’s dance styles in one word & share their opinions on what’s good in the dance community.
