In this episode of the Listen To Your Footsteps podcast, acclaimed dancer, choreographer, and businessman Quintus Jansen, known as "the creative guy," shares his remarkable journey from street dance beginnings to international ballroom stages.
Starting at just six years old, Quintus found a unique connection in ballroom dance, leading him to travel, compete, and eventually choose dance as his lifelong passion. Despite studying accounting at UCT, his true calling pulled him toward dance, even as he hustled in London to pursue his dream. Quintus delves into the art of choreography, emphasising the importance of adaptability, a value-adding mindset, and the balance between artistic storytelling and commercial entertainment.
He reflects on the lessons from his MBA, his philosophy of "Family first, then work," and his transition from Dance Culture to Creative Culture.
With insights into life, business, and the power of creating value, this episode is a masterclass in resilience and creativity.
