Dance Biz and Cafecito

Episode DIEZ | How will you be remembered?

I couldn’t ask for a better season finale! Let me start by saying— brace yourselves! Although this is a long episode, it’s packed with compelling topics and key Miami dance knowledge. So, kick it up to 1.5x or even 2x if you’re ready for that kinda speed.

I’m excited to announce…NONMS! He is basically legendary in the Miami Dance Community and was trained by legends from around the world. Nonms helped built the freestyle movement in our city into what you see today, he’s an incredible popper, locker, producer, percussionist and artist overall.

During this episode we cover: his journey into both dance and music, his perspective on dance foundation, the Miami underground culture, the importance of knowing the history behind your craft, obsessing over your movement, leaving a legacy, submitting to the music, artist vs entertainer, and more!

Episode NUEVE! My first non-dancer guest…but he knows more about dance than most dancers I know and (dare I say) me! How is this possible you ask? Well, he’s Miami’s lead video man when it comes to DANCE. Everyone give a warm welcome to Bryan Rodriguez a.k.a. Strictly Media. In just one year, Bryan went from Improv Comedy to filming some of the freshest videos you’ve seen come out of Miami. Strictly Media produces film content for leading dancers from all over Florida, Los Angeles and beyond.

During this episode we dive into his journey as a CREATIVE, recurring topics that come up during your favorite choreographers’ dance classes, he flips the roles and interviews me for a change, why he invests himself into filming dance in a unique way and more.

Episode OCHO! When is the right time to QUIT dance? This guest means serious BUSINESS. Let’s talk dance, fashion, social media influencing and all the juice with (none-other) than Renata Bresciani a.k.a. @MissRenata. From gymnast to dance, pinup modeling, fashion industry, acting and beyond. Renata CREATED opportunity when things weren’t working out. She founded the late Immaculate Streetwear— a pioneering streetwear brand that went viral before the term even existed, and the cause of one of the hardest creative decisions she ever had to make. If you’re trying to build a brand out of yourself, this episode is packed with PURO FUEGO!

Episode SIETE! A power couple to inspire us all. Sophie Cook and John Jeffrey are not only long time friends of mine but they are two talented dancers with strong business mindsets and powerful brand presence. From a quick glimpse into their social media you can clearly see the undeniable dedication, respect and passion for their crafts.

Sophie - dancer, contortionist, actress, influencer and more!

John - Bboy, photographer, stunt performer, actor and more!

During this episode we talk about their journeys from Miami to Los Angeles, persistence, dedication and MINDSET.
