This week we have the amazing hip hop performer, teacher, choreographer, artistic director... Aukai Cain!! You may know Aukai for his 20+ years teaching hip hop at Athletic Garage or for his dance company Legacy VDC, but did you know he started out as a singer and performed in a boy band??!! This was his full-time job for many years, but then he got into musical theater, and then through a series of events, found himself becoming a professional dancer. He didn't start taking hip hop classes until 31 years old, but check out the full episode to learn what led him to pursue dance and how he achieved a successful career in it. Aukai discusses his own dance story as well as his passion for helping other dancers achieve their goals. Whether it be professionally, fitness-wise, or just to have fun and be challenged, Aukai enjoys reaching everyone where they're at and inspiring them to love dance as much as he does.
