Professional dancer and Guinness World Record holder, Kaffy, shared profound insights into her dance journey during an interview on Channels Television’s Morning Brief show on January 16, 2024.
“When I started, I was doing it strictly for fitness and wellness because I was using it for weight loss, because I was a size 16,” she revealed.
Kaffy said she found dance to be a liberating tool, not just for physical health but as a holistic approach to a better well-being.
Before Kaffy envisioned dance as a profession, she said it served as a sanctuary for her mental health. “Before I even thought of dancing as a profession, I always saw it as something to help me with my mental health,” she shared. Growing up with the challenges of navigating a split parenting household, she said that dance became Kaffy’s refuge – a space where she could escape and discover herself.
As Kaffy explored dance at the national stadium, she said she realised the impact it could have on others. “People needed some kind of escape, either for fitness or wellness reasons or just to have a place where they want to be,” she explained. This realisation marked the beginning of her journey to empower individuals through dance, creating a space where others could find solace, just as she did.
