“The Role of Identity In Shaping Health, Success, & Happiness w/ Sebastian”
Takeaway: Sebastian entered the dance world at twenty years old—later than a majority of dancers. He was immediately drawn in by the beauty and artistry of dance. However, growing up in a tough neighborhood, pursuing dance put him at odds with the identity he had created to keep himself safe.
