Nonstop Motion Could Be Your Downfall | Lando Wilkins
This week we have dancer, choreographer, and toy designer @landowilkins in the pod! Lando is a vet in the urban dance community. From his early days on @twotwentyteam, to @sgbmsd all the way to @moswantedcrew, Lando has been in the scene for a cool minute. Being known for his unique movement style, Lando quickly made a name for himself for his choreography and freestyle. He talks about how he found his own identity as a mover and how it has evolved over the years. More than looking at dance as an end, he explains how it’s actually a means to an end. Lando is an artist to the core. He unpacks how he appreciates the artistry in the things he locks into. While dance is still very much a part of Lando’s life, he has shifted his focus for dance to be geared more towards education and mindset training.
As a constant student of the arts, Lando has been making quite a name for himself in the toy culture as @uncleskro. Listen in as he opens up his mentality towards growth and evolution. Another in-depth look into a genius mind.
