Yuka, originally from Japan, started her ballet training at the age of 4 and graduated from Perm State Choreographic School years later. Subsequently, she embarked on a remarkable career at the St. Petersburg Theater, Tchaikovsky.

Yuka’s aspirations extend beyond the stage; she dreams of traveling worldwide, as she believes it helps enrich her understanding and appreciation of the world’s myriad cultural expressions.

“Romeo and Juliet” holds a special place in Yuka’s heart among the vast repertoire of ballets. This timeless classic ignited her passion for ballet and inspired her to pursue her dreams of becoming a professional ballerina. Every time she participates in this ballet, she feels transported into the world of Shakespeare’s tragic love story.
