Kevin and Cynder are a very special couple: one’s a human who works in social media; the other is his beloved and beautiful border collie. Together they participate in a sport which which you’re probably not familiar: dog dancing. Inspired by a video of a dance routine set to You’re The One That I Want from Grease, Kevin became Victoria’s first male dog dancer and he and Cynder have gone on to win awards for their fantastic routines.

In tonight’s inaugural episode of Stripped Down, host JB chats to Kevin about his relationship to his pets, his established career blogging as That Dog Dancing Guy and, of course, the dancing.
