At only 9-years-old, Miyu Ananthamaya Pranoto is showing other girls her age that they’re capable of achieving so much more than they may realize. When she discovered her love for the Korean boy band BTS, she also uncovered a passion for dance. Inspired by her favorite member, Jimin, and the choreography for their hit song “Idol,” Miyu became determined to learn how to dance.
When Miyu sets her mind to something, she’s sure to make it happen. That is evident by just how successful she’s been on her dance journey. In a short amount of time, she’s taken by storm not only her home country of Indonesia but the whole world.
Miyu first caught people’s attention at the Summer Jam Dance Camp in Da Nang. Overnight, she grew a massive following of fans. Her dance mentor, Semmy Blank, couldn’t be more proud.

“It’s not hard for me to teach a person like Miyu,” Semmy said. “Compared to adults, I think she really can top them as a freestyler and her skills improve really fast in terms of foundation, technique and musicality.”
A recent competition in Vietnam, which was international, may just be her biggest one yet. Here, she proved herself to be a crowd favorite. This performance garnered over 45 million views on YouTube.
