We all know how lowly dancers are seen maybe up until recently, then imagine an engineer living her profession for dancing! Mind boggling right? During a recent chat with Sunday Guardian, Kaffy shed more light on her transition from engineering to choreography.

"In fact, I feel more fulfilled now (with) what I'm doing. I have an opportunity to directly impact people's lives and empower people's minds for the better," she said.
