What should my child wear to class?

Ex: long pants like leggings or joggers, along with a t-shirt or long-sleeve top, are best for easy movement. Comfortable, supportive shoes are also important!

MEET THE TEAM

CEO/Founder: Ayaka Sonehara

I founded this organization to share the art of dance with the next generation. Driven by my enduring love for dance, I am committed to providing children from all backgrounds with the opportunity to pursue their dreams in this beautiful art form. I hope to make dance accessible for everyone, and this organization was established with that mission in mind. I am dedicated to creating an environment where we can all grow together! As a former competitive dancer with over 11 years of experience, I understand the profound impact dance can have on someone’s life. Although my journey was cut short due to injuries, my passion for dance never waned. Transitioning from performer to mentor, I have had the privilege of guiding aspiring competitive dancers to remarkable achievements, including top 12 and top 3 placements in the prestigious Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP). DreamxDancers is my passion, and I am all for the amazing dreams we’ll accomplish together!

COO: Alisa Sonehara

Dance has always been a big part of my life. For four years, I experienced the joy of connecting through dance and saw the highs and lows of the art form as my sister competed. I know the challenges and rewards it brings. Through our NPO, I aim to support young dancers in exploring and developing their passion, guiding them on their unique journeys in the world of dance.
