MIYA MIYAZAKI

Miya is a street dance enthusiast. She began with lindy hop in Osaka, Japan, in 2016, and moved on to hip hop and house (and Australia) later. A professional dancer and dance teacher by trade, Miya has a Diploma in Performing Arts, and five years in the arts industry as a dancer. Now she teaches solo jazz weekly for 1929 Studios, leads local performance troupes, and social dances as though her life depended on it.

Miya began dancing at 3, and was considered too energetic for ballet (with teachers regularly making special mention of her facial expressions). In lindy hop she loves exploring how can express who we are through movement, each body unique and perfectly suited to dance. Her favourite part of dancing is collaborating. Miya loves social dancing, trading eights, and scheming on a new project.
