“Don’t dwell on the past, you have to keep moving forward.”
For me, I find things I really like, and keep it in my back pocket.”

Many people have been drawn to Jaxon since his powerful appearance on World of Dance. His inspiring story about overcoming bullying and his drive to use his experiences and emotional strength to inspire others is incredible and is quickly attracting an adoring fanbase. But we wanted to know who Jaxon was beyond the story that initially drew us and the rest of the world to him. We asked Jaxon to tell us something about him that his rapidly growing audience might not know watching him on TV. “I get inspired by a lot of things,” he says. “I like to watch people and wonder what their stories are. I try to understand who people are instead of making assumptions.” It wasn’t surprising then when Jaxon told us that his dream is to be a choreographer in the future, taking dancers’ unique abilities and traits and turning them into art.

“I  want to choreograph for people and try to get them to dance from a place that is real.”
