Listen now
Description
This episode gets even more raw and real ........... We talk a lot about Dancing Queen the Netflix Series behind the scenes - The Moms that were always ready to challenge the teachers and especially Marcella. Justin talks about young Moms being stage parents and that they are great for TV. He talks about Riley's Mom being outraged about Marcella being too sexy and wearing thigh high boots - which in turn Justin shows that Mom a photo of himself in thigh high boots and asks her Why are you not outraged about me? We talk about Justin being the special guest performer in the World Pride Parade and 6 year old Ainsley dancing with him. He says that reality TV always has something dangling over you. Then Justin talks about his dancer Leah from Beyond Belief Dance Company, who also starred in Dancing Queen being truly one of his Heroes. She has beat all the odds - being a child with spina bifida who was told she probably wouldn't walk and here she is not only walking but singing and dancing in the new pop group XOMG. The group was created by JoJo Siwa. Leah has had over 35 day surgeries and 40 overnight surgeries. She has said to the doctors that "DANCE GIVES HER A REASON TO LIVE". The people at the studio are his tribe and they have become family because they have believed in him. Justin says that it is okay to tell your tribe some hard truths sometimes. We agree that it is easier for men studio owners to put dance parents in their place. He says that he has had to apply tough love and eliminate people - several of the families that were a part of Dancing Queen. They weren't a great fit in the end and he knows they will find a better place for them where they fit and they will be more celebrated. Reality TV creates stars - Kardashians are like the Royal Family of America off Reality Television and a sex tape. We ask Justin who is a worldwide global superstar how he stays committed to this small dance studio in Mesquite TX. Then Justin opens up about his new relationship with Steve. He gets very candid and tells us how they fell in love. He says he held a global Tinder audition for Steve and that he found THE ONE. We learn about their first date and the NY Times "ARE YOU COMPATIBLE" 50 questions. We truly look at Justin as our family and we agree that we are supposed to meet people for a reason. Justin felt like he truly did it after he finished his 53 cities tour with this LIFE, LOVE AND LASHES Solo Show. He brought Hollywood to Mesquite. We talk about the incredible opening night of the show in Dallas TX, that we were blessed to be at and the incredible Broadway Review he received. Then he shares the story about his father on season 5 of the Ru Paul Drag Race and how incredibly emotional that moment was. It was so impactful and finding that peace and serenity and fast forwarding to now he truly has the happily ever after!! At the end of the show we create a Matchmaking reality TV Show for Marcella and Justin being the Matchmaker. Justin's book of life has been written and is just now being read out loud. What a true Hero he is.
