Dance Mogul:<\/strong> What does it take physically and mentally to prepare for a tour and execute it?<\/span><\/p>\n

Yusuke Nakai:\u00a0<\/strong> I always practice 10 hours every day on tour, even when we have off days. Practice will make dreams come true always. Even though I’m on tour, I’m still hungry and I still want to be a better dancer.<\/p>\n

Purpose Tour 2016<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Dance Mogul:<\/strong> What advice do you have for the next generation of young dancers?<\/span><\/p>\n

Yusuke Nakai:\u00a0<\/strong>Make sure you practice ” your style “. I like animation so it requires me to practice a lot of isolations. Most importantly, you have to have passion behind what you do. When I go into auditions I always bring my unique style and my passion. It has taken me this far and I’m thankful.<\/p>\n

Dance Mogul:\u00a0<\/strong>Is there anyone you would like to thank?<\/p>\n

Yusuke Nakai:\u00a0<\/strong>So many choreographers and dancers, b<\/span>ut\u00a0especially the two people that changed my life.\u00a0<\/span>First is Jamaica Craft<\/em>, s<\/span>he gave me my first job in the USA. <\/span>She picks me up for Ne-Yo’s<\/em> and Usher’s<\/em> tours. S<\/span>he gave me such a life-changing experience every time, I love her. S<\/span>econd is Nick Demoura,<\/em>\u00a0his\u00a0<\/span>creativity and choreography are always awesome and he gave me life-changing experiences too. \u00a0I love them both so much, I was lucky. I could barely speak English and they still were willing to work with me. I also wanna thank the artist I had an opportunity to dance for like Ne-Yo<\/em>, Usher, Will I am, Taylor Swift<\/em> and Justin Bieber<\/em>, I was inspired every time I hit the stage with them. Every artist was different and always gave their best which made me want to give my best. Thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n
