VEDIKA LAUL
My name is Vedika Laul, and I'm a 17-year-old high school student at Step by Step School in Noida. I have been learning Kathak for the past 10 years, since 2015, and recently obtained the Prabhakar certification, an undergraduate degree equivalent, from the prestigious Prayag Sangeet Samiti. Earlier, I have also trained in Jazz for 3 years.
Dance brings me profound joy and happiness, and I cherish the opportunity to share that joy with others around me. I am a volunteer dance instructor at Dribble Academy Foundation, an organization dedicated to empowering underprivileged children through sports, arts and life-skills. At Dribble Academy, I have been leading dance workshops and performances for children in the Gejha village community since 2022. My dance workshops - Dance Without Limits - are focused on creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all children, regardless of their background or ability, to express themselves, find joy, and develop self-confidence through dance. Replicating the Dance Without Limits initiative, I recently (May-June 2025) led a 3-week dance workshop at Noida Deaf Society, an institution that provides education and skill development for individuals with listening impairments across India. I believe that dance can be a powerful tool for building community and creating a more inclusive world.
DANCE WITHOUT LIMITS
My Mission with Dance Without Limits is to promote inclusivity and power of self-expression through dance workshops.
Dance Without Limits, encompassing a series of dance workshops, is an initiative that I conceptualized and introduced at Dribble Academy in 2022. In the workshops, in a welcoming and supportive environment, we explore a wide range of dance styles from around the world, including the vibrant and colourful folk dances of India -- Garba from Gujarat, Ghoomar from Rajasthan, and Bhangra from Punjab.
Dance Without Limits is committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone, regardless of their background or abilities, feels comfortable to express themselves through dance.
The workshops encourage personal growth, foster curiosity toward different cultures, and empower individuals to embrace their unique identities.
Dance is a universal language that knows no limits, and Dance Without Limits is committed to fostering a sense of community and belonging for all.
