CEO/FOUNDER: Ayaka Sonehara
I founded this organization to share the transformative 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).
​
I am so excited to be launching DreamxDancers, and for all 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 both the challenges and rewards it brings to someones life. Through our NPO, my goal is to support young dancers in exploring and developing their passion, guiding them on their unique journeys in the world of dance!
