THE STORY BEHIND NY DANCE ARTISTRY

A Journey of Passion, Courage, and Dedication.

At the age of 20, Mami Hariyama moved to New York City on her own, determined to pursue her dreams.

In 2005, she founded NY Dance Artistry with a vision of creating a place where students could receive dedicated ballet education and grow as individuals.

Over the years, through challenges, perseverance, and countless meaningful moments, the school continued to grow.

In 2025, NY Dance Artistry proudly celebrated its 20th anniversary.

Twenty years of teaching, learning, creating, and inspiring.

And the journey continues.

Our story is not only about dance. It is about dedication, resilience, and the belief in every student's potential.
