IAN EASTWOOD is an internationally known choreographer, highly regarded by the best in the industry for his singular approach to dance and storytelling via his independently produced dance films gone viral on Youtube.Eastwood has garnered the respect of his peers and greats alike throughout the course of his career. Having choreographed artists like Zendaya, Justin Bieber, Childish Gambino, Chance the Rapper, and many others, he’s become a staple in dance to stars within the industry while continuing his years of mentorship as a traveling teacher to thousands of students across 31 countries for over a decade now. Growing up in Oak Park, Illinois, just outside the city of Chicago to two pen-to-paper artist parents, art was somewhat inherent in Ian’s self-expression from an early age. His love for dance and film were innate. He began uploading videos of original choreography edited by himself in 2006 at the age of 13 during the dawn of YouTube, making him one of the first and youngest of many to later chronicle their dance careers on the platform. He has since gone on to accumulate over 700,000 subscribers and 88 million views on his Youtube account. As his online virality grew with every new piece of choreography released, Ian became a regularly traveling dance instructor by the age of 16, teaching his peculiar and specific style of choreography around the world while still in high school. Later on, Ian became a highlighted contestant on the show AMERICA’S BEST DANCE CREW SEASON 7 (MTV) as a choreographer and dancer with MosWanted Crew, as well as the choreographer and lead dancer on SEASON 1 of WORLD OF DANCE (NBC) with IAN EASTWOOD & THE YOUNG LIONS. The platform Ian gained through television exposure, his portfolio of work in music videos, and the continuation of his own independently produced material paved the way for him to be highlighted in campaigns as an influencer and creator with major brands such as Champion, Canon, Kangol, RayBan, Puma, American Eagle, Truly Hard Seltzer, Samsung, and Remy Martin.

Maxwell 6:06 - Resume 6:43 - Whats your choreography process? How do you do what you do? 7:00 - Whats your creative process? Broken down in 3 stages. Learning how to do your craft. Learning how to use your tool. How do you express or find it in your own voice? Be genuine. Whats it all for? Whats the purpose? Finding the relatability. 18:40 - Dance history time. 23:18 - Finally answering about becoming a dance professional traveling and teaching. 25:05 - Traveling and teaching being a possible career vs pleasing parents and finishing school. 28:15 - Along that thought too I also get questions from younger kids or even kids in college who are like, "Dance is only thing that brings me happiness, how can I do this thing or should I like finish school." They're asking not even me, I'm sure you guys you know, "What do I do?" and in that sense its like um…I think for me is… 28:38 - Count the Cost. You know like its not laid in your lap. If I say yeah do it, then you're gonna succeed…If you really wanna pursue and like make this your mission to be happy and give up things like that I'm honestly not telling you to quit school. School is so important but like its really counting the cost like what do you wanna pursue and how hard are you going to work at this because every dancer or aspiring person that you see in front of you that you look up to, even the men in this room, is like we counted the cost and we said this is what we love and we're gonna work our blood sweat and tears to make it happen so even in that sense its like, are you willing to do that too? 30:07 - Thoughts on inspiration? 31:00 - If you can find a way to like, scale it, and look around the corner and be like hmm, how can I pass this? Maybe I just won't go this way I'll take the long way around. You know its like finding new inspiration for yourself to see the world in a way that you never had before. 41:16 - Working out your dance muscle. Its like a muscle right? Its like if you want to keep doing what you do, you maintain it or you make it stronger so like, working out 3 - 4 times a week whether it be like strength conditioning, endurance training or literally just repetition of moves is definitely important and key. 41:54 - Dance is our sport! 44:20 - Approach to choreographical expression. 45:30 - Aspirations outside of dance/future goals. 53:00 - Divide. I think in the current state of our country its just undeniable that we're divided and its um theres a lot of hate and just ignorance going around. Less of that more of empathy. I think if people had more natural empathy to put their feet into the shoes another man the more understanding there would be of one another. GOLDEN RULE: Always strive to learn something new. Never settle for less.
