My name is Jacob Flynn and I am the founder and director of IN10SE Productions, which produces The IN10SIVE and IN10SITY Dance. The IN10SIVE in a unique dance workshop experience, created for competitive-level dancers. The IN10SIVE workshops have been held exclusively in the Midwest, but plans are in the works now to expand from coast to coast in the summer of 2009. Our faculty has included performers and choreographers for major recording artists, Broadway shows, and major Las Vegas productions. Mia Michaels, Tyce Diorio, Chucky Klapow, Justin Giles, and Mark Meismer are just a few of the names you'll find on faculty at The IN10SIVE. IN10SITY Dance is a national competition tour, attracting the nation's best talent in celebration of dance and the performing arts. 2009 is the premiere tour of IN10SITY Dance, and you can check us out at any of our 8 regional tour stops: Indianapolis, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Columbus, and North Jersey. Check out IN10SITY Dance and specifics on The IN10SIVE's next workshop in Indianapolis at www.in10sity-dance.com.On the personal front, I am married and live in Carmel, Indiana with my wife, Erin, and our dog, Bentley. Outside of dance, I enjoy tennis, golf, traveling (especially when its not for work...LOL), and weekends at the lake. I have an outstanding network of friends and family, for which I am extremely greatful. I love kids, and feel extremely fortunate to be working in an industry I love, creating extraordinary events and opportunities for talented youth.

My Interests

I consider myself to be a visionary. I'm always thinking about "what's next." I'm always observing, evaluating, and exploring ways to take what we know and what we've experienced and make it bigger and better. I do not tolerate mediocrity. I've never been accused of being complacent. I surround myself with good people with similar core values, and people who generally "play big." A good friend of mine described me once as the kind of guy that "when I going fishing for Moby Dick, I always take my tartar sauce." In other words, I very seldom accept the word "no" and really have a hard time recognizing limitations.

I'd like to meet:

I have a list (both alive and deceased) : Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki, Frank Sinatra, the Dalai Lama, Mother Theresa, Paul McCartney, Ralph Lauren, Donny Deutsch, Bob Fosse, Ben Vereen, Twila Tharp, Savion Glover, Gregory Hines, Jimmy Slyde, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Danny Daniels, Alvin Ailey, Judith Jamison, Martha Graham, George Balanchine, Hinton Battle, Andre Agassi, Jack Welch, Tony Robbins, Giorgio Armani, P Diddy, Jay-Z, Suze Orman, Dave Ramsay, Glenn Beck, Eric Clapton, Larry David, Jeremy Piven, Meg Whitman, Rudy Guliani, Michael Bloomberg, Bill Clinton, Authur Ashe, Jack Nicholson, Tiger Woods, Warren Buffet, Bill & Melinda Gates, and others.

Music:

Just about anything and everything. However, given that in the competition business a lot of songs get repeated over and over again, I have black list of songs that I feel should be retired and never resurfaced. I've even toyed with the idea of factoring in an automatic 5 point deduction for any song that appears on my black list that is used at one of my shows. LOL! I don't think I'd get away with it, but I would just really encourage anyone reading this to strive to be original in your music selection if you plan on competing at one of my shows!

Movies:

Has to be clever, witty, or completely retarded. Thank God for Netflix.

Television:

I don't have anything that I watch regularly. But I am in the process of acquiring all the seasons of Entourage and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Books:

I've read just about everything Trump has written. I love the way he writes. Some of his core philosophies are contradictory to mine, but I like him for the most part. for example in business, he's adimate about getting revenge when you're wronged. I personally believe if you leave yourself leave yourself open or vulnerable, you're ultimately responsible. Unfortunately, the world is pretty cut throat and way more people are looking forward to seeing you fail than see you succeed. Bear that in mind and plan accordingly.

Heroes:

There's a little "hero" in everyone...some individuals are simply more connected to the "hero within" than others. I suppose my heroes are the "doers" in the world...people who embrace their inner-hero and subsequently act, create, and contribute accordingly.
