We got to talk to Frankie Martinez about his philosophy on dance and life in general. We discuss the problems he sees within the culture of dance. We also talk about the connections between dance and other areas of life such as martial arts, meditation, Zen Buddhism, and pop culture.

DISCLAIMER:

We had some issues with audio that we tried to fix but weren't able to. They don't last too long and about 95% of the video is clear audio, just want to let you know ahead of time.
