ENGLISH

Hinako Sakuraoka is currently working as a dancer in the musical Lion King in Hamburg. She has graduated from Kirov Academy of ballet in washington DC in 2007. Then have worked with Dresden Semperoper, Detusche oper am Rhein, Poznan grand theater, Hagen Ballett, and Musik Theater im Revier as a fixed ensemble and a guest. She has been certified Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis Trainer since 2012 and also is a licensed trainer to teach the teachers education for both methods. She has also done all the therapeutic courses, specialised equipment courses(JSB, archway), and level 2 for both methods. She has worked 5 years in Primus Physio Training in Duesseldorf , teaching Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis methods, as well as incorporating Gyrotonic expansion system in Ballett am Rhein and teaching the dancers as a mean of injury prevention or rehabilitation. Since 2013 she has been working in musical Theater and state theatres’ Operette, such as the Phantom of the Opera in Hamburg, and Musical circus Knie in Switzerland. At the moment, apart from being the part of the musical Lion King, she is also working as an Assistant to Julius Frack the illusionist, and teaching Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis Teachers training all over Germany.

My experience for GYROTONIC® began in Dresden. One of the dancer had certification to teach and I learned from her almost everyday! I knew it already then that I wanted to teach this also in the future. I started my teacher's training with GYROKINESIS® . I was certified in Muenstertal in Germany and there I had a great opportunity to work with Juliu Horvath himself, (the Founder) for two weeks intensive course and again in Bali for Gyrokinesis level 2 course with him.I believe that this system is for everyone. It can be used as rehabilitation or also training for athletes or ballet dancers. I hope to see you in my class. I always give my best in each session!
