We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Michael Frazier . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Michael below.
Michael , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?
The most meaningful project that I have worked on is one that I am currently working on. It’s “Popstarz -Deserted” An ultimate Popstarz experience where I have invited 8 dancers on a road trip of a lifetime where our final destination will be the location of our next dance music video.
I teach weekly dance classes for adults of all levels. My class is called Popstarz and is all about having a time and place for people to let go, forget about any stresses and just dance and have the most fun to some of the best Pop music out there.
This project is taking that concept and bringing it to a whole other level. I want these dancers to literally feel like Popstarz. In our adult lives, it is easy for people to get stuck in the same mundane schedule. That’s why I enjoy giving people the opportunity to belong to something that is just for them. This road trip and entire experience will be something that these dancers will look back on and remember being such a memorable part of their lives.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I have been teaching dance classes and choreography for over 15 years. My biggest inspirations when it comes to dance have always been some of the biggest Pop stars in the world … Britney Spears, Michael Jackson, Madonna just to name a few. I am not a professionally trained dancer, it’s just something that always came naturally to me. So for me to be able to teach others how to dance and how to come out of their shell and let go like I do when I dance, feels so rewarding.
I think I help clients relieve stress, build confidence, strength and endurance through my classes. I think that I also inspire and promote a more healthy lifestyle through dance and fitness.
I believe the number one thing that sets me apart from other dance classes is that my brand is definitely unique but it is also inclusive for everyone. My classes are non competitive and all about dimming the lights, turning ON the neon lights and dancing it out to one of my custom mixes to the best pop music.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
For me, the most rewarding part about being an artist and creative is sharing the art with others. There is absolutely nothing more gratifying than standing in the studio with my dancers, teaching them the choreography and then turning the music on and watching it all click. Like whoa! They get it. And everybody is moving as one. I could never get tired of that feeling. It is such a high.
: Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
My goal and mission is to spread the word of Popstarz to anybody and everybody that I can. It’s not just a dance class. It’s an experience for people wether you are in class with us dancing, or if you are watching what we are doing on social media. Either way, my vision and concept is bringing joy to others and I believe that is why I am here and this is what I am supposed to be doing.
