An eleven year old in South Field, MI is living her dream-literally! In 2008, Amiya Japeri Alexander had a dream about traveling around the country on a pink bus teaching kids how to dance!
"In my dream, I was teaching a little kid how to dance, and a second later, the whole world was inside a bus!" The seventh grader says. She woke up from her deep sleep, drew her dream bus, and ran to wake up her mom.
"I'm in desperate need of a pink bus!I'm going to go to different schools to teach kids how to dance!" She exclaimed to her mother. After a buisness plan was set, Amiya got an old school bus that year for Christmas! Now, the bus is called Amiya's Mobile Dance Academy.
Amiya travels to different schools every Saturday and teaches children from the age of 2 and nine, eight to twelve people in each class! She teaches tap, jazz, ballet plus more! Each lesson costs $11.50 to $12.50!
In Dance Spirit Magizine, they say that Amiya was inspired by Michelle Obama! It also states that, when she's older, she wants to expand her buisness across America to teach kids with low-income families who can't affored real dance classes. "I want to help undeserved children." Amiya says. "I can bring the dance studio to THEM!"
