Yuriko Minami

A member of the Company since 2003, Yuriko Minami left a career as a classical soloist in Japan, to join Atlantic Ballet Theatre of Canada. A prizewinner at several ballet competitions, she has an extensive classical repertoire which includes principal and soloist roles.

A favorite with audiences wherever she dances, Yuriko earned critical notice for her performance as Merlin’s mother in the ABTC’s third original ballet of the same name. Other roles with the Company include: Marcelina in Figaro, The Girlfriend in Les Portes Tournantes, and Mozart’s first love in Amadeus.

She dances as one of The Homeless and as a Dark Seraph in the Company’s newest production, King Lear.
