“I’ve just loved ballet since I was 3 years old”, said Yuiko. She was not tall, or particularly fast at learning choreography. However, she has never given up. She has always been self-disciplined and has put the whole soul into the roles that she played. 

She shares her story of how a little Japanese girl’s dream came true to become Principal Artist.
