Episode 20: Enjoying the Moment with Hans Pierre

In this extra special, extra long episode, Celtic gets hammered with resident genius of the Florida Dance community, Hans Pierre, as they discuss being inspired by crew, the virtues of cultivating a “fuck it” mentality, the pros and cons of mentorship, the origins of the Thesis and Crew Love events, what makes a good dance event, the importance of DJs doing their homework, dancing to music made on the spot, being vulnerable as a dancer, the importance of men discussing and addressing sexual assault in the dance world, the paradox of doing well during hard times, the lie of the suffering artist, taking time to do nothing, and exploring what makes us happy. Celtic holds it together until the end.
