This is a month-old article on the same object in Half Moon Bay Review:

A very good article with a great picture! Very interesting: It says JP will attend Columbia University this fall to pursue a double major in dance and physics. So cool - congratulations! I remember he said once in an interview that he loves science.

I also found this great radio interview with JP which was held before the final performance for the scholarship.
It is really worth listening, JP is as well-spoken as always.

Dillion Stevens and J P have re started their Vlogs (Formerly BE Brothers vlog) after 7 years. Interesting to see where they are. On stage they had an unique interaction which was impossible to forget. Dillon was so hyper and engaged he lifted the show to a new level. I hope they do well.

Maybe some of you would like to see JP's Senior Dance Thesis (from March 2018). He choreographed this himself, using several dance styles like modern and tap. I found this dance quite moving and fascinating, as it convincingly tells the story of a journey. At one part it actually features JP dancing with himself! So, check it out here:

I can only hope he continues choreographing after his graduation, he certainly has talent for it!
