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.

For more information, please see my website here: https://abballet.com/about-abballet
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.

Ballet. Classes. Improve your technique and movement mechanics. 🩰 Tips. Variations.
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.😁

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. You can study with me: Classical ballet Point work Ballet Repertoire Stretching Ballet gymnastics

Nicholas
Private Dance Tutoring - Contemporary Dance / Ballet
After training in Ballet & Contemporary at Rambert School, I danced professionally for over a decade with companies such as Richard Alston Dance Company, National Dance Company Wales and Michael Clark Company. I can teach and coach on a range of contemporary dance styles, choreography and performance and audition skills. We will improve strength & flexibility, improve coordination and develop technique. I primarily danced with Cunningham technique but have good experience of other techniques such as Graham, release and Gaga. As a qualified physiotherapist, I can also teach about the anatomy of a dancer and how to look after the body and overcome injury. I look forward to supporting younger students to enjoy dance whilst also developing their technique, musicality and dance proficiency.
