    About Me

    Hi there!

    I'm Riho and I'm teaching ballet in Tokyo, in both English and Japanese. I've been teaching ballet for almost 15 years. I attended the Australian Ballet School when I was a teenager and worked for various ballet schools as an apprentice and main instructor in Osaka and Tokyo.

    I'm now looking for students who are interested in improving and maintaining their ballet abilities. I welcome all abilities and would love to help anyone who enjoys and respects the art of ballet, and would be very happy to support any goals for becoming a professional ballet dancer one day.

    My focus is on developing proper technique and form, while cultivating a healthy, positive mindset for performing.

    My English and bilingual ballet classes/lessons are for the expat community in Tokyo

    Education

    Seiko Kuramoto Ballet School, Australian Ballet School, K-Ballet Company

    I've trained and learned ballet since I was a child and have been teaching for many years at various schools and independently.

    Elena
    Ballet class (Vaganova School), audition and contest preparation for intermediate and advanced students
    In addition to ballet classes and stretching, I also provide audition preparation and competition training variations. My ballet class is typically divided into two parts: Barre and Center, which include adagio, pirouettes, and jumps. We can reserve time for pointe technique upon request as well. During classes, attention is given not only to the technical aspects of the combinations provided but also to their musicality and the logic of movements. Detailed analysis is also provided on which muscles should be engaged in each movement and what sensations the student should experience when executing the steps correctly. It would be great if you could share a video of your class or variation performance before our first class. This will allow me to assess your level and make our lesson as productive as possible. My schedule is flexible, so the table below may not include all possible hours for our class. Write to me and indicate your preferences. I will answer you as soon as possible! Very soon you will see the summer offer. Believe me, it will be wonderful! Save my page or write me a short message - "Summer Ballet Classes". You will be the first to receive information and priority for booking summer classes.

    Kseniya
    Private and group ballet classes with the Vaganova graduate
    My class is based on the famous Vaganova method. Therefore during our work we will focus on the correct technique of movement and its style, so you will learn not only how to do elements correctly but also will understand how to make your dance look beautiful and catching for audience. Also I stand for a positive approach in the educational process, because I am deeply convinced that this kind of attitude is one of the main keys to improvement.

    Carla
    Conscious Ballet. Train with what you love and regain mobility, strength and flexibility
    The classes are aimed at the assimilation of technical elements with a biomechanical approach, focusing on the development of appropriate mechanics based on muscle chains and joint release. Knowledge of the objectives of the class sequences with a methodology broken down into the steps, theoretical and practical, will allow a more conscious execution in the long term, preventing short-term injuries. The importance of identifying body strengths and weaknesses individually, to program an exercise plan and overcome technical challenges in the development of a ballet class. Coordination, agility, resistance, stability, flexibility and proprioception will be objectives within reach during classes! Commitment and dedication will be our allies 🤗 There is always time to start with your dreams and goals, whether you are just starting out, you have been training for a while and you want to give your work a twist to the codes of classical dance from a more organic perspective or dance has simply been part of your life and you like to be active based on the psycho-physical benefits of this discipline. Together we can share the process of training from a different consciousness, attending to the body as a whole.😁

    Holly
    Ballet Class with dancer from Matthew Bourne's company and Ballet DJKT Czech Republic, amongst others
    I am passionate about working with students on developing both their artistry and technique. In this class students can enhance their existing training through personalised lessons, with a special focus on musicality, dynamics and performance in partnership with technique. I draw on my knowledge as a professional dancer to train dancers whether their goal is to work towards a career in the industry, or invest more in their passion for dance. Lessons take the form of a traditional ballet class, starting at the barre and moving to the centre (adapting to space), and include discussions to help dancers to refine their thought processes and approach. I am still a freelance performing dancer and therefore my availability is changeable.
