S2E7: How to Pay it Forward with Justin Vaughn

We sit down and chat with Justin J. Vaughn or better known in the dance community as “Papa J”.  Justin gives us an in depth history of where dance all started for him and how his career flourished to becoming owner of the world renowned team, Super Galactic Beat Manipulators.  J shares the inner workings of Super Galactic Beat Manipulators and we break down his thoughtful approach to directing an award winning team.  We talk about how the dance community has evolved and J shares his insights on how to navigate through some of the current challenges we face today. We have a really fun round of rapid fire questions and J and Michelle share their woes of getting older.  J talks to us about his late night furniture shopping spree and becoming a “plant dad”.  We wrap the episode with J’s foodie favorites and J shares his opinion on what’s good in the dance community. He refuses the title community “icon”, but we assure you that after listening to this episode, you’ll agree with us that Papa J is indeed a legend, leader, and icon in the dance community.
