Why Dance
In the challenging landscape that children facing adversity navigate, articulating their emotions can be hindered by formidable barriers such as anxiety, fear, and language constraints. These constraints become even more pronounced for those emerging from unfortunate backgrounds, perpetuating a cycle of silent suffering. Personally acquainted with fear during my own childhood, I intimately understand the profound impact of these hurdles.
Recognizing the transformative potential within the universal language of dance, has been a revelation born out of my own journey. As I discovered solace and self-expression through dance, it became abundantly clear that this art form possesses a unique ability to dismantle the walls erected by anxiety and fear, transcending language barriers that often imprison the voices of those in need.

Motivated by the firsthand liberation
I experienced through dance, I founded Voices Perceived, a platform dedicated to providing a voice to the voiceless. By harnessing the power of movement, we aim to break the shackles that confine children in adversity, offering them a means to communicate and find solace beyond the limitations of spoken language.
Voices Perceived is a transformative dance initiative born out of the belief that every child, regardless of their background or circumstances, deserves the opportunity to discover and articulate their innermost feelings through the universal language of dance. My focus is on identifying and supporting underprivileged children who have faced the harsh realities of trauma, violence, and poverty. In the face of adversity, dance becomes a powerful tool for self-expression and healing.
Dance is an art form that transcends linguistic and cultural boundaries, allowing individuals to communicate, connect, and share their stories without the need for words. The transformative power of dance becomes a vehicle for these children to break free from the constraints of their past. Through carefully curated dance classes, Voices Perceived provides a safe and nurturing space where these children can express emotions, dreams, and aspirations that might otherwise be stifled.
Voices Perceived believes in the inherent potential of every child, and through dance, I was able to discover their unique voice, one that speaks volumes beyond the limitations of spoken language. As these young individuals embrace the freedom of movement, they not only find a voice within themselves but also contribute to a collective narrative of hope, resilience, and empowerment. In doing so, Voices Perceived aspires to create a lasting impact, inspiring positive change in the lives of underprivileged children and fostering a community where their voices are not only heard but celebrated.
