He introduced Rahardjanoto to the organization a couple years ago when the two were attending the Detroit Jazz Festival.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe work that they do in Southeast Michigan is incredible and essential, especially during these times,\u201d said Rahardjanoto. \u201cTo not only provide immediate assistance to and help those experiencing homelessness and poverty, but to also provide assistance for long term solutions is something I admire and love about this organization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rahardjanoto was born and raised in Berlin, Germany. She moved to the United States to pursue her passion for tap and it\u2019s paid off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI get to perform and teach this truly American art form and pinch myself every day that I am able to do it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>This year, COVID-19 made it impossible for Rahardjanoto to see her family in Berlin. She knows countless others are being impacted by the pandemic and applauds Lighthouse\u2019s determination to hold the dance competition virtually.<\/p>\n<p>However, she admits the pandemic brings some performance challenges. The biggest obstacle is perfecting the routine she and Jellick are putting together. The two have been recording themselves separately and editing pieces together.<\/p>\n<p>Rahardjanoto said they\u2019re willing to do whatever it takes to help illuminate Lighthouse\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s always important to support those in need, but what times like these bring to light and amplify is that anything can happen to anybody at any time and that nobody is immune to finding themselves in a situation where they might need help,\u201d said Rahardjanoto. \u201cI am so grateful to have the opportunity to contribute to and support Lighthouse remotely in this way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rahardjanoto and Jellick will perform Nov. 21 in the 12th annual Dancing with the Stars. Proceeds from the event help fight homelessness and poverty in Oakland County.
