Dorothy Ho
At 21 years old, Dorothy Ho dropped out of college and opened her own dance studio, Charade Dance Academy. Six years later, her academy has produced award-winning dancers, taught over 700 students in Garden Grove, and is now expanding to offer an even more inspiring space for creativity. At a young age, she was placed in foster care due to her parents' incarceration. Dorothy’s life took a turn when her mother was released, and she was raised by a single parent. Despite facing financial challenges, her love for the Arts never wavered, leading her to graduate from the Orange County School of the Arts in 2015.
