KP EP51: Creating The Arena | Anthony Lee

We have @_anthonylee_ back in the pod! As a co-founder of the @kinjaz as well as @arenadancecomp, Anthony is a man who never finds himself without a full plate. He talks about the origins of Arena as well as why he wanted to create this platform along with our partners @sinostage. He explains what makes Arena a unique showcase and competition amongst the many shows that are already out there.  Anthony is a champion for the culture of the urban dance community. He’s a visionary and a leader for not just Kinjaz, but to people all over the world by educating not just physically through dance, but through mentality as well. As a dancer, choreographer, creator, entrepreneur, and forever student of life, Anthony is well on his way to cementing a footprint of a legacy for the urban dance culture and community. Dive into the mind of Anthony Lee.  https://www.instagram.com/_anthonylee_/ AKA #anthWHOAny https://www.instagram.com/kinjaz/ https://www.instagram.com/sinostage/ https://www.instagram.com/arenadancecomp.com/   (4:45) Arena China - Kinjaz Present “Manband” - https://youtu.be/H_mFKuBA4QM  (5:49) #anthWHOAny cake face - https://www.instagram.com/p/ByRwoFUlaVL/?igshid=yhrcnp1h2uew (6:37) Chinese quick mask change - https://youtu.be/qPBkegjjPSQ (7:46) Birth of Arena Dance Competition (11:07) Jon Shih - https://www.instagram.com/jyshih21/ (11:39) Bam Martin (https://www.instagram.com/bam_martin/), Pat Cruz (https://www.instagram.com/patcruz/), Mike Song (https://www.instagram.com/mikeosong) - “Shaolin Temple” - https://youtu.be/cypLjBl0OV4 (13:29) Vibe Dance Competition - https://www.vibedancecomp.com  (17:44) Arena 2015 - Kinjaz - https://youtu.be/GU8F-TjMyG0 (18:10) Fusion Dance Competition (https://www.instagram.com/fusionhiphop/), Body Rock Dance Competition (https://www.instagram.com/officialbodyrocksd.com/)  (20:58) VIBRVNCY - (https://www.instagram.com/vibrvncy/)  (23:29) Daniel “Cloud” Campos at Arena China 2019 - https://youtu.be/2cx-S-C53Oo (26:45) Kinjaz at Arena LA 2018 - “SportsCenter” - https://youtu.be/dnTe2qSt4mE (30:03) KinJAM (https://www.instagram.com/kinjam.rafn/)  (35:28) Arena LA 2018 @ Ace Hotel DTLA - https://theatre.acehotel.com (36:23) Arena LA 2019 @ Soraya Theater - https://www.thesoraya.org (37:30) Arena Dance Camp - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/arena-dance-camp-2019-pre-sale-tickets-61357335442 (37:55) Building Block - (https://www.instagram.com/buildingblock_)  (39:37) Arena Kids happening for the first time in LA Learn more about your ad choices.
