Arshiya Sharma: Dancing with Purpose, Passion, and Perseverance

ARSHIYA SHARMA

Every young dreamer starts somewhere—and for Arshiya Sharma, it began with a local dance competition. She entered with little expectation, but her victory unveiled a gift that would shape her future. Recognizing her potential, her parents encouraged her to explore dance more seriously. Though she didn’t grow up with a specific idol, her natural affinity for rhythm and movement lit the path ahead. This defining moment marked the first step in a remarkable journey of growth, passion, and purpose—one driven entirely by the joy of dancing.

Like many, Arshiya’s journey wasn’t free from setbacks. The pandemic hit her family hard—her father lost his job, and financial challenges followed. Despite it all, her parents remained unwavering in their support. Eventually, Arshiya relocated to pursue better training opportunities, fully committing to dance. What keeps her going? It’s the energy of performance—the beat, the movement, and the chance to express herself with every step. Her inspiration is drawn not from others, but from the art form itself.

Her journey has been shaped by mentors who recognized her spark and nurtured her growth. Under the guidance of Kapil Sir, Anuradha Ma’am, and Ajinkya Sir, Arshiya’s dance evolved into storytelling. Each mentor brought out a new layer of talent, giving her the confidence to experiment with different styles. Alongside her passion for dance, Arshiya enjoys art and craft, finding joy in creativity beyond the stage. She maintains a simple routine—balancing schoolwork, practice, and play. Yet behind that simplicity lies extraordinary discipline and a fire that fuels her ambition to become an internationally recognized artist.

Arshiya’s performances have inspired countless children who reach out to her with admiration. She recalls receiving messages from young fans who see her as a role model—something she never imagined when starting out. For Arshiya, this is the most rewarding part of her journey: not the spotlight or applause, but knowing that her story motivates others. Her growing influence reminds her that her art is not just personal expression—it’s a medium that uplifts others and encourages them to follow their dreams.

Her impact stems from more than just talent—it’s rooted in her values. Arshiya holds tightly to principles like innovation, respect, empathy, and focus. These guide her not only in dance but also in life. Each performance is more than choreography; it’s a reflection of the discipline and vision she cultivates every day. Her long-term dream is to become an internationally known artist, performing across borders and inspiring diverse audiences. Through dedication and humility, Arshiya aims to continue breaking barriers and showing others that perseverance and authenticity can shape a fulfilling journey.

Receiving the Global Child Prodigy Award 2025 fills Arshiya with deep gratitude and excitement. This recognition feels like a beautiful acknowledgment of the effort she’s poured into her art. The thought of being honored at the Parliament is both humbling and inspiring. It’s a moment that reaffirms her belief in hard work and motivates her to reach higher, knowing she carries the hopes of many young dreamers just like her.
