Today we chat with the man behind the curtain of China's premier dance entity @sinostage, Mr. @eli.m.sweet. Eli's story is wild. From growing up in Atlanta and deciding to study Mandarin, to finding himself in China, to pursuing his dream in music, to marrying China's godmother @sinostage_koko, to finding himself as an owner of one of the largest international dance entities in the game…this man's story is all over the place, nothing short of pure inspiration. Eli's mind and hustle is truly one of a kind. This one is chock-full of gold nuggets.
