WHO is Maki

Originally from Ibaraki, I began Hiphop dancing at the age of 7. After graduating from high school, I majored in dance in the Dance Performance Department at the Japan College of Engineering. Upon graduation, I joined TRF SAM’s SOUL AND MOTION DANCE STUDIO, where I worked for 9 years as a dedicated instructor and dancer. Currently, I am active in Atlanta, Georgia, as a dancer, choreographer, and instructor.

 

In addition to working as a cheerleader, I was a member of the Tokyo Girls, a professional cheer dance team, from 2017 to 2020.
