Dancing Without Borders

My Inspiring Examining Trip to Dubai

In November, I had the pleasure of taking a short trip to Dubai to examine young dancers in Ballet and Hip-hop. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with bright smiles, eager energy, and an enthusiasm for dance that filled every corner of the studio. The children’s excitement was truly infectious—they radiated joy, discipline, and a genuine love for movement.

It was a privilege to witness their dedication and to see how beautifully dance is nurtured within such a vibrant, supportive community. I am deeply grateful to the NATD for granting me this wonderful opportunity, and to Brooklyn Melodies Music Centre for their warm hospitality and exceptional support throughout my stay.

This experience is one I will carry with me—a heartfelt reminder that the language of dance transcends borders, connecting us all through rhythm, passion, and expression.
