S2E4: New life into Dance with Josh Saradpon

We sit down with dancer and choreographer Josh Saradpon.  Josh shares his dance journey and we reminisce on our days at The BOX Dance studio.  Josh provides tips for aspiring young dancers on how to stay focused and tells us what he would do if he could talk to himself as “13-year old Josh”.  We talk with Josh about his opinions on how the dance community has evolved and Josh talks us through how he deals with being discouraged.  As with many of us, the current pandemic has helped us find new ways to be creative and Josh discusses his new found passion for cooking and caring for plants.  We talk about the importance of self- care and Josh shares his own tips for how to indulge in activities to really nurture yourself.  Josh  shares his biggest lessons from leading others and talks about dancer fatigue.  Josh feels the pressure from the rapid fire, he shares his top 5 coffee spots in San Diego and we wrap the episode with his insights on what’s good in the dance community.
