In today’s episode we sit down with brothers, Jacobie and Joshua Bluhm.  Each one well accomplished dancers in their own right, but together create a dynamic and energetic duo. We kick off the episode with the correct pronunciation of Bluhm and Michelle gets gold stars.  The brothers talk to us about their individual dance journeys and how they eventually melded together.  They share their unbreakable bond of being brothers, best friends, and dancing together. We get an in depth and candid perspective on their dance camp experience and getting a voicemail that changed the path for Jacobie’s dance journey in the best way.  Joshua then shares his dance journey and shares his thoughts on working with Disney’s Raven Simone.  We have a serendipitous moment during the episode when we realize that we were at the same Showstoppers Dance Competition in 2016.  The brothers share how the pandemic has affected their team and rehearsals.  We challenge the brothers to describe each others’ dance styles and we have one of the funnest Rapid Fire rounds this season! The brothers reveal a fun fact about their grandfather and Motown and like with most of our previous guests, we talk Anime!  We wrap the episode with Jacobie and Joshua’s views on what’s good in the dance community.
