S4E6: When Dance isn’t your Dream with Larry Banares

In another very special episode of the Co-Lab Podcast Devin, Dylan and Michelle sit down with world renowned Executive Chef, professional dancer, and their dad, Larry Banares.   While the world knows our Dad as the award winning Chef who has cooked for many famous celebrities and dignitaries, Larry reveals where his artistic roots really stemmed from.  We jump right into the episode and talk about Larry’s earliest memory in dance.  He shares his insights on the correlation between being a dancer and working as a chef.  Larry shares his early memories of dancing since the age of 5 and speaks candidly about how dance was the priority over academics when growing up.  Our dad talks with us about navigating through the challenges that came with winning and gaining notoriety and opens up about what it was like to be singled out as “professional dancers” in the setting of amateur competitions.  We discuss what it’s like being forced into dance, rather than having it stem from a place of passion.   We go into an interesting (and revealing) round of Rapid Fire with Larry and we put him in the hot seat and ask him who his favorite child is.  We wrap the episode and our dad reveals what his dream job would be and it’s not anything that we expected.
