(from my memory)

He was told he couldn't travel to a couple countries, these might have been Syria and North Korea, and this bothered him, and ended up transforming him; it gave him purpose.

He decided he would use dance to bring together people of every culture and prove that we are all humans!

And then we danced and giggled and used our phones to make silly dance videos.

They haven't posted the video of his presentation yet, doggone it!

About how he found purpose and decided to go to countries like North Korea to show how alike we all are.
