I began my dancing career in Tokyo Japan. Over the years I have developed a unique style of dancing excelling particularly in hip-hop, house, locking and popping.
I have won various international competitions including JUST DEBOUT in France. My choreography was featured on TV in Japan, USA and Australia. The highlight of my experience was performing with MISSY ELLIOT, during her tour in the USA.
I’ve also been a teacher for 8 years and have organised many showcases with my students. My goal is to explore opportunities in Australia as a dancer, choreographer, performer and teacher.
