Yuka Aramaki – Private Lessons
Yuka began her career as a flight attendant a year ago, which currently prevents her from teaching group lessons. Nevertheless, she continues to share her passion for dance through private instruction.
Trained in the Russian ballet method since the age of 3, she has a rich background in ballet, including running her own ballet school. I have attended her classes several times before, and I‘ve always appreciated the friendly atmosphere that she created and her practical advice gained through Russian ballet training.
If you’d like to polish your technique or need a couple of private lessons before jumping into any group lessons, you’ll be in excellent hands. To book a lesson, please contact Yuka via email at yuka.akl.ballet@gmail.com
