My Journey in Dance
People often assume I grew up loving dance — that it came to me naturally and effortlessly. But the truth is very different.
01
The Beginning
I was introduced to dance the moment I was born. But when I joined a dance class at the age of three, I didn’t enjoy it at all. I didn’t like the discipline. Yet I continued — not out of passion, but because I was expected to. I was on stage, but not in the art.
02
The Turning Point
Everything changed when I turned 13. I realised that if I was going to continue, I wanted to do it with intention. From that moment, I started practicing with my whole being. I grew from being “just okay” to understanding the emotion behind movement.
"When I dance, I step out of my present struggles and into a space where I can just be."

A New Door
At 14, I began teaching, and that opened a new door. Learning became deeper. Expression became clearer. Dance no longer felt like something I had to do — it became something I chose.
04
Connection
Real appreciation started coming in when I was 17. Not just for technique, but for the way I told stories through movement. For the way I felt on stage. For the way I connected.
05
The Present
Now, as I approach 20, dance is communication, storytelling, healing, and spiritual. This journey wasn’t built on perfection — it was built on persistence. Dance didn’t choose me. I didn’t choose dance. We found each other halfway.
