Ballet for Adult
From Beginner
to Professional dancer
Yumiko Niimi Founder for YumikoBalletNY
I am over 35years old, Can I still start ballet ?
Yes, it is never too late to start. Most of the students that come to my class have never dance before. Now, not only are they enjoying themselves, but some have told me that they have found a renewed sense of physical vigor and self-confidence. Many of my students have also reported improving their posture and that ballet has helped them stay in shape - some of them have told me that they have lost weight and a student has told me they are now wearing one jean size down! Others that previously suffer from neck pain have told me that they are no longer in pain, thanks to ballet. These are just a few of the many benefits ballet can bring you. So why not? We can enjoy our time together, keeping fit and having fun! Please join me.
1996からニューヨークにて大人のバレエクラスを主催、多くの方に親しまれ、励まされ続け今もマンハッタン ミッドタウンのCITY CENTER 6fl, バレエアーツにて楽しくエキサイティングなバレエクラスを開催しております。
日本から新しくNYへ来られた方や、しばらくバレエから離れていたけどまた体を動かしてみたくなった方
いきなり一般のバレエクラスに行きたくても不安がある方にはプライベートレッスンも提供させていただいてます。
楽しみながら、リラックスした環境で身体の使い方を学べます。
基本の立ち方から、無理せず左右対称に開く足の使い方など、丁寧に個人の体に合った指導を心がけてます。
姿勢も良くなり、足の筋肉のつき方で全体的に美しく長く見えるように変化していきます。
バレエアーツでの私のクラスはオープンレベルなので
今も活躍されているミュージカルダンサーや振付け師、プロの方も体づくりにいらっしゃるという一風変わったクラスですが
体づくりに関しては初心者もプロも皆一緒にできます。
I teach and empower adults to move with confidence and grace (from beginner level to professional level dancers) and provide private lessons for children and adult )My responsibility is to ensure that my students understand how to maintain balance and proper form, while being attuned to each person's body type, flexibility, and way of learning. I encourage my students to achieve their goals and dance with joy.
Accomplishments
Students of mine demonstrate significant changes in their bodies after taking my class. Most students report leaner thighs, and tighter buttocks in just 1-2 months. They also show more open neck-to-shoulder lines, and their postures improve (similar to ballet dancers). They demonstrate increased flexibility, and their musical and dance skills develop in a very short time. Students who work in stressful environments have also reported decrease in stress and improvement in posture, helping them breathe better.
