Join us as we explore Dexter Carr’s remarkable journey from his early days dancing with entertainment icons like Chris Brown, Beyonce and Janet Jackson to gracing Broadway stages in "Bring it On" and "In the Heights." Dexter shares invaluable insights into the transformative shift from the exhilarating world of professional dance to the theatrical demands of Broadway. His story is a vibrant testament to the resilience and creativity needed to thrive in the arts, providing a unique perspective on the supportive nature of the dance community versus the competitiveness of the entertainment industry.  Dexter opens up about the highs and lows of his career, including the challenges of imposter syndrome and the ever-evolving landscape of auditions and networking.
