Yuki says...



Yuki is one of the dancers from RS Musical. She is 22 years old and wants to pursue a career in musical theater. When we first met she asked me to teach a dance class for her and a few of her students. After spending one day together with a bit of a barrier between our two languages we found out that there was a lot of information I could give her. So we spent the night together, went to the bath house, I taught her a dance class as well as a private lesson from 10-1 and exchanged a ton of information about videos to watch and different styles of dance to look up. She is extremely eager to learn more and more about dance so that she can become a professional somewhere in the world. Presently she is getting her passport so she can come to New York, explore dance, singing and acting and hopefully audition as well. Since her English isn't the best (although it isn't as bad as my Japanese) she promised to spend the next year studying English very hard. Hopefully I will be there next year, or one of my friends, so that she can come and stay for free; showing her the same hospitality her family has shown me.
In this video she talks a little about the work we have done with her and what she has taken from it. check it out!
