In this episode, we sit down with our sibling, Jordan Banares who returned on leave for the holidays. Jordan has been dancing for nearly 14 years and took a break to serve our country and enlist in the United States Navy. Jordan began his dance career with Pasacat, a prominent Filipino Folk dance group based out of San Diego and blossomed into a dancer celebrated by his peers in the community. Jordan’s dance career quickly propelled him from dancer to Artistic Director to RYPE, an adult competition team and RAW, a junior competition team from The BOX Dance Studio. Later, Jordan joined adult competition team 220 (Second to None). We talk about Filipino Pride, dancing with a high school team, bossy sisters, and embracing humility. In this episode, we explore:
