Heart to Heart: Meet Malika Yates, Elite Miss Delaware Earth 2019

As a dance teacher, I am always SO inspired by my students! Meet Malika Yates! She is a dancer at heart, a true superstar, and has been crowned as Elite Miss Delaware Earth 2019! She is recovering from a cognitive concussion and traumatic brain injury, and I have never met anyone in my life so determined to achieve her dreams, letting nothing get in the way! I coach Malika with her dance technique through Sideline Prep. She was cleared by the doctor a few months ago to dance again, and she was so excited to get back into the studio. She dreams of being a professional dancer and hopes to audition for a professional dance team soon. She continues to bring her grace and poise with her even off the pageant stage, as she continues to spread her platform to make a positive impact on environmental restoration and to inspire others to dream big. She uses dance and physical fitness as a means of healing and loves to share her passion with others.

I am honored to be her dance coach and to be a part of her amazing journey!
