Katelyn

My name is Katelyn Wong and I have been dancing since I was four years old. I have always been intrigued by how people move and how society views the arts. I love being in Found Youth because I have been able to share my talent and love of the arts with people just like myself.

Mia

Hi my name is Mia Watkins!! I'm 12 years old and I have a VERY extra personality!🤣🤣 Dancing and Acting are my main sports because I can be very extra in those sports and they allow me to express myself in a way like no other! I have trained at DC Dance Factory for 10 years and this is my first year at Found youth!

Some reasons that I LOVE found youth are,

1. The people that I get work with are incredible and so kind!

2. I get to express myself with more that just words or simple dance moves but through movement that's unique and special!

3. I'm really excited to perform these pieces in front of all my friends and show them how amazing found youth is!!

Samira

I have been dancing for 13 years and have always needed to figure out things on my own. This has led me to hide my creativity. With Found Youth, I am getting everything that I want out of choreographers, artistic directors, and I'm discovering my creativity more and more everyday. This is why i love it so much.

My name is Natalie Barke and I am 13 years old. I have been dancing for 7 years and it is my absolute passion. It has been a pleasure for me to be a part of Found Youth Group Ensemble. The staff and directors have been a delight to work with, and I have found my identity dancing with this company. It has allowed me to express myself through dance in a safe, loving, and enriching environment.
